Here are some signs that your job isn’t a good fit for you anymore, and it’s time to consider how you can either improve the issues or think about leaving. “If multiple of these signs apply to your situation, then it’s likely time to leave as soon as possible,” Sutton Fell says.
1- You lack passion. “You’re not waking up most mornings with a feeling of excitement towards your job,” Hockett says. That feeling you had when you first started working there–thinking about all the possibilities and contributions ahead with a sense of glee—is gone.
2- You’re miserable every morning. Quite simply, you dread going into work, Sutton Fell says.
3- Your company is sinking. There’s no need to go down with this ship, Taylor says. “Put on your life preserver and get in the water.”
4- You really dislike the people you work with and/or your boss. You can try to work out the problems you’re having with colleagues or your manager—but know that sometimes they’re not fixable.
5- You’re consistently stressed, negative, and/or unhappy at work. If you get anxious or unhappy just thinking about work, that’s a good sign that it’s time to move on, Sutton Fell says.
6- Your work-related stress is affecting your physical health. “The work, people, or culture is unhealthy, and it has a negative impact on you physically and mentally,” Hockett says. “The stress is present both inside and outside of work; it’s consuming. Your family and friends are affected by this, too.” Taylor says when work starts affecting your health–physical, mental, or both–it’s time to get out.
7- You don’t fit in with the corporate culture and/or you don’t believe in the company anymore. “You feel that there are ethical or moral differences in how the company and you believe the firm should operate; cultural differences; work ethic clashes, and so on,” Taylor says. Whatever the issue, you’re morally misaligned with your employer, and it’s an uncomfortable workplace setting.
8- Your work performance is suffering. If you’re no longer productive at work, even though you’re capable of performing the task(s), you might want to start looking for new work, Hockett says.
9- You no longer have good work-life balance. When you find that you’re spending less time with your family because of work, or you cannot commit the necessary time to your job, you should consider looking elsewhere, Sutton Fell says.
10- Your skills are not being tapped. Management doesn’t acknowledge that you have more to offer than what you’ve been contributing for a significant amount of time, you’ve been passed over for promotion, or attempts to take on more challenging assignments have failed, Taylor says. “No one has said anything, however, you are no longer getting the plum assignments, you are no longer asked to attend key meetings, or your proposals are met with silence or denial,” Hockett adds. “These are signs that you should be looking for a new opportunity.”
11- Your job duties have changed/increased, but the pay hasn’t. Sometimes there’s a good reason for this—but Sutton Fell says it’s usually a sign you should go. “When downsizing has moved your team into double time, but certainly nowhere near double compensation, it may be time to move on,” Taylor says. That’s especially true if the company is performing well, but it’s not reflected in your salary or other rewards.
12- Your ideas are not being heard. If your ideas are no longer heard or valued; you can’t seem to get time with the ‘powers that be’; or you cannot get approvals or acknowledgment for great work, think about finding a new job, Taylor says.
13- You’re bored and stagnating at your job. If you’re not growing or learning anything new, it might be time to leave, Sutton Fell says. Hockett and Kahn agree. They say when you’ve outgrown the position and there is no opportunity for advancement–or you seem to work the same job day in, day out without any opportunity for growth, even though you crave more–it’s time to get out.
14- You are experiencing verbal abuse, sexual harassment, or are aware of any type of other illegal behavior. If you’re the victim of bullying, sexual harassment or other egregious behavior, you should certainly keep an eye out for other positions, regardless of what corrective measures you’re taking, Taylor says.

Whenever you feel like you are diverting away from your success, you should consider switching jobs. Some of these factors include:
Slow career growth
Saturated learning
Worsening of work environment due to any factor
Increasing work place issues
Decreasing market value
Decrease in Job Fulfillment and Job Enrichment
Decrease in Motivation to Work
Decrease in a Sense of Belonging for the Job
... and many more
One thing which you should consider is if you want to switch your career (field) or just the company. Switching a career is usually tougher in later stages of your career because companies have the opinion that the later you switch your career the harder will it be for you to unlearn and learn the new stuff.
Hope it helps !
When current job doesn't allign with your set goals and objectives.
Making a big career change is never easy, especially if you've got kids to support, a mortgage to pay, and a car to worry about. People will tell you you've got it great where you are and that the grass is always greener on the other side. What they don't know is what's best for you. Switching careers doesn't have to be the daunting process everyone makes it out to be if you are organized, practical, and thorough with your research.
The day you find neither the organisation is adding value to you nor are you adding value to the organisation
Time has come say goodbye
when you try to catch a good chance.
LOOKING FOR A GROWTH IN POSITION AS WELL AS IN SALARY
In my opinion, if you do not see good growth opportunity in your organisation, you can consider changing job between3 to5 year. This will give you opportunity for personal as well as professional growth as you will get opportunity to learn with different people, different technologies and different cultures.
However, in making such job change, if you are in mid of some important project , which adds to your professional value, or critical for your employer, you should consider completing such project before changing.
