I believe the most important thing in life is happiness and satisfaction. Happiness can be with respect to career, friends, relationships and even family. When you’re forced to do or enjoy something, it’s just not worth doing it even if it pays you a lot. In your case, if you’re spending precious years of your life on a job which you hate waking up to, you can consider quitting. But I also wish to warn you about two things:
1. If you’re not satisfied with this job, are you aware of which job can give you the satisfaction that you desire? If you have that figured out, go ahead. Else, give it some thought. You don’t want to regret letting this one go.
2. Is your family or you relying on your salary? Make sure nobody is depending on your money and hence have no responsibilities attached with this job. Make sure you can handle months of having no cash. If it’s so, you may quit your job.
I am guessing you are in a job because you need the money. If this guess is wrong and you don’t need the money, then pls leave the job and do whatever you enjoy.
Work satisfaction stems from how you view your job. It does not matter what the work is. If the job is putting food on your table, then I feel you should be grateful that you have a job. I am aware of hundreds of people who are working very hard just to get a job.
Now figure out how you can make the job interesting. Are you learning something? Can you do the work differently? Do you get the opportunity to work with others?
I once had a team of freshers who revolted in their job just after 6 months and came to me saying they won’t work any more in that role. They wanted me to change their role. I asked all of them to resign right away if they did not like their job. I guess they did not plan on hearing that. None of them resigned. I went on to show them what they learnt. They learnt about the product they were working on, they learnt different processes in a corporate, they learnt how to work in a team, they learnt how difficult some work can be. But most of all, I told them they learnt to be confident. These people 6 months ago hardly had a voice. Now they could come up and talk without any nervousness. What can you do to make yourself happy at your work? It is just your mindset, nothing else. Work on that and enjoy your work. Else just leave the work.
