Don't leave your company just because you think your time's up. Have you talked to your colleagues about their reasons? Maybe it's personal change or they got a better job offer from a competitor.

Last time I struggled with a job, my wife put it that way:

There are three columns in a job: Nice colleagues, fulfilling tasks and payment. If one is crumbling, it's probably manageable. Any more, and it's time for a change.

I think that's solid advice.

Perfect advice! In my case I add if you stop learning, too

This is the same metric that I use!
