Scratching the Itch to Leave your Company?

    I call it an "itch" but I'm sure there a better word or phrase for it.

    When you have that "feeling" or "itch" that you need to either leave your current company or it's time for a career change.

    I'd like to know from other engineer's, how do/did you identify this "itch"? Was there a tangible 'aha!' moment?

    • How did you know it was time to leave the company you were at?
    • Were there any indicators?
    • What were they?
    • Were there any subconscious clues you were giving yourself that in hindsight seem obvious?

    I'm thinking of putting together a resource for young engineers as a guide on how to know if it's time to leave your current company, but I'd like to hear other engineer's stories to help develop this resource.
