Hi, I’m Taylor Mauer, Founder and Senior Managing Partner at Heavy Civil Resource Consultants, Back with another two-minute Tuesday tip of the week. This week is our third video in our 10 questions to ask yourself before you trade in your current employer for a new one series.
Our first question was why am I considering leaving my current company and you can find that video link below as well. The second question was, have I addressed my issues with my superior at my current company or someone who has the authority to remedy my issues?
Now on to highlight our third question, which is how do my career path, objectives and time frame, and which I hope to attain them, compare at my current employer versus the new opportunity?
One of the key factors to consider is the frequency and likelihood of promotion at your current employer versus the new opportunity. Understanding the differences in the business plans of the two companies is pivotal in this assessment. Companies with ambitious growth objectives are more likely to offer greater advancement petition potential within a shorter time frame. Therefore, if your career path objectives align with rapid advancement, it may be advantageous to explore opportunities with a company that has a strong focus on growth and development.
Another critical aspect to ponder is whether you are currently recognized for your hard work and accomplishments at your current employer. Recognition and appreciation for your efforts are fundamental to job satisfaction and career fulfillment. If you find yourself valued and acknowledged for your contributions, it’s essential the way the potential benefits of leaving your current employer for a new opportunity. Consider whether the prospect of a slightly earlier promotion and a new company outweighs the other aspects of your current job that may not be the same or better. In essence, when comparing your career path objectives and the time frame for attaining them at your current employer versus a new opportunity, it’s essential to consider the following.
Number one, advancement potential. Assess the growth objectives of both companies. Engage the likelihood of promotion within your desired time frame. Number two, Recognition and appreciation. Reflect on whether you are currently recognized for your hard work and accomplishments and consider the impact of leaving a supportive environment for a new opportunity.

Evaluate the promotion policies and salary structure of the new potential employer to understand the potential for career advancement and financial growth.
Ultimately, the decision to pursue a new opportunity or stay with your current employer should align with your career aspirations and the potential for growth, recognition and fulfillment in your professional journey.
