Should I Stay in a Great Company or Leave to Pursue My Career Path?
I’d like to hear your thoughts.
I’m considering leaving a highly prestigious company where I currently earn a six-figure monthly salary. I have almost two years of professional experience since graduating, and this is my first job in the IT industry.
The company may be moving me into a role that I don’t see myself pursuing long-term because it doesn’t align with the career path I want.
I understand that this could simply be a result of business needs, and I’m willing to understand the company’s perspective. But at the same time, I’m wondering: How much should I prioritize my own career path when the company needs me to move in a different direction?
Should I stay because of the compensation, company reputation, and opportunities, or should I consider leaving and pursuing a role that is more aligned with where I want my career to go?
For those who have experienced something similar, what would you do in my situation?
