Because experience is the best teacher

In all the years that you’ve been working, you’ve probably shifted careers once and companies twice or thrice. Mistakes were made, and sometimes you wish for a do-over, but in the end, all that you’ve been through has made you into the professional power woman that you are.
Now that you’re in your 30s, you more or less already know the ropes, but just in case you need a bit of a reminder, here are a few workplace lessons that you should take to heart:
1. Don’t be stuck in a place you’re unhappy with just because familiarity feels safe.
You really have no time to stay in a place that you feel isn’t for you. If you don’t like your job and the people you work with and you know that you’ve tried your best to adjust to an office culture that you just can’t dig, then quit. There’s no point in being worried about offending people or being afraid of not finding a new job opening. You’ll be fine as long as you plan your exit well. Leaving a place that doesn’t allow you to grow may just be the best decision you’ve made for your career.
