Should You Start Looking for a New Job?

Take this quiz from our career coach to find out!

Should You Start Looking for a New Job?

I'm 26 and I'm already on my fourth job. My dad is 60... and he's on his second. Clearly, we both fit the Boomer and Millennial stereotypes rather well. Thankfully, though, he's never judged me for "job hopping."

Instead, we've discussed our experiences and realized that he's as scared to quit his job as I am to stay at mine. No matter how old you are, deciding whether you should stick things out or move on isn't easy.

So, to help you organize your thoughts, we put together a "Should I quit my job?" quiz with the help of our career coach, Heather Coll (a member of the much less controversial Gen X).

These questions will help you figure out if it's time to move on - from your current role, company, or both. Because no matter what point you're at in your career, or which generation you're from, you deserve to be happy at the place where you spend most of your waking hours!!!



How'd you do? If you're ready to start job hunting and need help putting your best foot forward, Heather can help you with everything from crafting the perfect cover letter to nailing your interview. Or, if you're still not sure about your next steps, she can help you figure out how much longer you should stay where you are, and how to start looking for the perfect job once you decide to leave. Just don't feel like you have to decide by yourself, and don't let anyone judge you for your decisions - whether they're a cranky Baby Boomer, an entitled millennial, or part of some generation no one's even heard of anyway. You do you!

An inside look at career growth at MiQ

Brittany Canady had a fear most working parents can relate to. As she prepared for parental leave, she worried about being left behind. Would time away from work set her back? Would she come back to a career that had moved on without her?

Great non-tech remote jobs for 2025

Are you looking for remote work but don’t have a tech background? You’re not alone. While remote opportunities are still out there, the landscape is changing in 2025.

Over the past few years, remote work surged as companies adapted to new models post-pandemic. It became widely accepted, offering flexibility, increased work-life balance, and cost savings for both employers and employees. However, 2025 brings a different reality. Many companies are rolling out return-to-office (RTO) mandates, reducing fully remote roles—particularly in traditional corporate environments.

The best networking tips (that actually work!)

I don’t know about you, but networking has always been a bit of a mixed bag for me. Early in my career, I saw it as overly strategic, almost mechanical — a sort of Pokémon GO where you had to collect the most contacts. Walking into a room full of strangers and making small talk felt exhausting, and the idea of then developing relationships solely for personal gain didn’t sit well with me. Over time, though, I’ve come to know that networking doesn’t have to feel like that.

At its core, networking is just about making meaningful relationships, sharing knowledge, and helping each other out. It’s not just about what you can get — it’s about what you can give, too!
