There’s an old rule of thumb in the business world that says that for every $10,000 of salary you earn, you’ll need to allow a month of job search before you can match your old salary. This means that leaving a job with a $50,000 salary means you need to plan for about five months of job hunting to replace your old income. This is only the first step in deciding if it is time to leave a job. Here, then, are five things to know before you leave your company for greener pastures.
1. Make sure you have a support system and job references in place before you leave. If you haven’t had time to get references and inform your family and close friends of your move, stay with your company and leave when you have a proper parachute to escape with.
2. Use any corporate benefits before you resign the job. If your company offers reimbursement for college courses, special training programs that will beef up your resume, training for special applications or computer programs, or a set of colleagues you can really learn from, don’t quit until you’ve squeezed every drop of blood out of that turnip. If you don’t take advantage of this kind of on the job training, you may find that your skills are not as marketable to the companies you want to work for.
3. Talk to friends who are in the job market right now. If the marketplace is poor, or if the timing of your resignation isn’t right, you aren’t doing yourself any favors by leaving a steady salary.
4. Before you announce your resignation, figure out what your employer’s reaction is going to be. Know what happens to your health insurance coverage, your pension plan, and other details before you tell anyone you’re leaving. There’s no negotiations after a resignation.
5. Determine if you can afford to resign. If you don’t have six months worth of savings in the bank, start cutting expenses before you leave the job, or stick with that company until you have the money.
Leaving a job isn’t just about wanting to leave. You need to have a system in place to take care of your needs in the interim. Proper planning is crucial to a successful resignation.
