When heart stops beating , you are dead . <| sep |> My criteria for changing job 1 . I am bored with my work . 2 . Unhealthy work culture . 3 . Salary is not as much as what my experience offers me outside . Considering these three , if any of these starts bothering me after 1 year in my current organization then I will switch but not within one year as it puts bad mark on your career chart . This however is valid for first five years of my career which I have now finished I won ' t change my next job until finishing 2 years in the organization . In case of absence of these conditions I won ' t mind spending 34 years in an organization but still not more than that as it shows that the person likes comfort level more than challenges .
