Change Jobs for a Better Future, Not Just a Bad Week

Every job has terrible weeks. The meeting that should have been an email, the launch that fell apart, the colleague who made everything harder. These moments feel unbearable in the moment, but they pass. The real signal to leave is a pattern, not a peak. If you have been consistently unhappy for months, if the problems are structural rather than situational, if you cannot see a path to what you need -- then it is time. But do not mistake a bad week for a bad job. Make decisions from a pattern of evidence, not from a spike of frustration.
