Sure - it's fairly personalized based on what I'm looking to get out of my career, but it has questions roughly like this:
- Am I free from feeling frustrated/stressed at work once a week or more?
- Am I free from work stress/anxieties outside of work hours?
- Am I keeping up with my hobbies?
- Do I feel respected and valued, with the ability to influence my work environment?
- Do I feel proud of my work and confident discussing my job with others?
- Am I learning/growing?
- Am I excited about the company's direction and secure in its stability?
- Do I feel like my job is secure?
I score each item 1-5 (1 = rarely, 5 = always) and track the total. If that total stays below my cutoff for a few months in a row, that would trigger me to start looking. Sometimes I include notes beside any low/high scores for context.
Friends have challenged this, asking if I can't just feel when it's time to move on, which I can, but I've found this leads to me being more thoughtful and proactive about it.
