When one should look for job change
When you are not considered in decision making

One should always try to manage the work load but some times it's very difficult to handle the work pressure. If you are unable to handle the work load better you should look for another job. If you force yourself without your willingness then you will mess up more. Due to family responsibilities most of us can't leave the job so we try to handle it even you are getting burdened.

When you can't handle the people around you
Major part of our job profile is to handle the people around you. Day in and day out you have to deal with the people. You can't run away from them as they are the one who are integral part of your work. If you get into the organization where mentality of people is fixed mindset then they will intentionally trouble you .
You must try to persuade them and get aligned with the nature. If you can't handle the negative people around you then you must look for change. If you can't manage such people then you will lose your credibility and you will find everyday job troublesome.

When you can't change your mindset about your work
Everyone has a belief system which we have adopted from our past experiences. When you enter into the new organization then you have to get aligned with the requirement of business. But most of the people find it difficult to change themselves according to the organizations needs.
If you carry your own misbelief then you will not fit to the new organization culture. If you don't change your basic belief system then there will be always frictions between you and others. If you can't change the mindset which you have developed then you must look for the best fit for your mindset .
It will be always good if you move on and look for your choice rather than spoiling the organizational growth. Unnecessarily you will feel uncomfortable and your performance will deteriorate. Don't spoil your career as well by sticking to fixed mindset.
When you don't like your work
There are so many people out there who are cursing the life that they have to do job which they don't like to do. They will always perform less than their efficiency due to the mindset they have developed. Disliking the job doesn't solve the problem. You have to take the necessary action quickly. There is no logic of cursing for lifetime.
If you really don't like the job then you must look for the change. If you are not liking because you have to work hard or need self discipline then you are finding excuses to escape from responsibility of life. If you can't love what you do then you will never like any job you undertake in life.
