What goal I set during joining my current organization?
The answer is simple, go back to that interview day when you got this job offer. What you promised yourself and what your current employer promised to you for your development. Do you get the opportunity from your current company you want and as they demonstrate their employment benefit structure during the interview. Is they provided within 2 years the kind of training program which benefited you?. Escalate what you're really looking for in your career and make your next decisions upon this. In case, within 2 years you are in the same goal post then it's time to make a decision to change.
Look your employment history in your resume
Is the employment history in your resume well enough to take the decision to make a move? If your past experience is far better then present employment responsibility and you can a significant growth as you want, then you are in the right time and right decision to change your current employer.
I may clarify this point more with this example, you got the current job position as a Design engineer. Over time the company places you in a project supervision job, that means the company does not match their professionality with the employee's responsibility to grow in their career. like this situation you will lose your key skill. In this case don't waste your time, better to start searching for the next opportunity.
Can I achieve a significant improvement in my current role instead?
Are you in a specific industry which needs a change to maintain standards?
This particular point may be applicable for some specific industry, Information Technology one among them. We are experiencing more career change than others. It is obvious that the IT sector moves very faster than other sectors with updated software and hardware. So if you are still following a company who uses outdated software or hardware and does not intend to upgrade, then you must make a move from that organization to update your skills with modern innovation with such company who welcomes the up-to-date implementation.

Nothing to learn and implement more in your current job
If you are not learning anything new from your current employer and you are losing your efficiency. When you identify such points as you are only working as a robot, come in and complete your daily work and go back to your home without any lesson learned then it is an important time to think of a potential move as an ambitious professional.
If professionals like you are not learning something new from your day to day job or business then it might be causing boredom and frustration for you in your daily work. So, if you really want to enhance your career then learning new things , gaining new experience, getting new exposure with complex projects are not only help you to progress your career but it's going to help to keep your interest too. If you are not getting those opportunities, then it is time to change your job.
So, below opportunity will helps to enhance your career
1. Learning new things from your Job like soft skills, certification courses etc. Promote your career
2. Gaining new experience from your work. learn technique of reducing stress management, anger management and standout from the crowd.
3. Getting new opportunity to work in complex projects. And learn change management. Jump start your career.
Are you regularly feel depleted in strength, energy, or freshness?
If you are not able to make any difference and your purpose will not be shorted out in your regular routine job and so often feeling depleted from your job then that obviously has a negative impact on the rest of your career, personally and family.
Remember, the workplace is that place where you spend your majority time on weekdays. So, if you are only fulfilling your responsibility but not achievement then your career ambition will propel down.
So, Strength, energy, and freshness is depleted, so it is a good sign to reevaluate your career quickly.
Are you spent a good amount of time with your current employer/organization?
Good amount of time is subjective. The length of time sometimes doesn't matter as it considers your opportunity, the industry , role, satisfaction etc. in your current company.
On the other hand, if you are facing the above signs then it might be a good move and find something better for your career.
I would suggest those who only spent several months in an organization and wanting to leave then you would access yourself with several market leading consultancy/recruitment agency and of course you will get a good line up and caution for your quick move and market strategy.
However, if this quick leaving pattern you already adopt in your career path because of just to enjoy the new position, new environment, new colleagues etc. then I would suggest that is an issue because this nature is going to hinder your opportunities moving forward of being able to find a full time job where interviewer will confident enough that you actually stay.
If this is the first time for you to quickly move to another position and another company in your resume showing several years at a time and now you landed in a new opportunity recognized by you that is not the right one for you then you might reconsider your situation and if so, it has to be a right choice for you to leave.
So, "Don't be a rolling stone from company to company"
Reevaluate your career path and make a clear goal for your next job role
Summaries your past responsibility and achievement and research to identify your value and exact type of job which suits your experience at present.
You can easily determine that opportunity exists in your next job but it doesn't exist in your current job.Then it's time to leave and find something as you expect your next jump.I would like to share below point if you are going to leave
1. It needs to be clear about your next role and current role.2. Be sure that role really adds a new feather into your career path or just the name of a new company will add to your CV. 3. Are you able to fulfill the significant role and successfully.
So, very clear what type of job you want to grab next and very clear about your role and achievement next. Once changed you don't have a chance to revert back to your previous position and accept regret.
So, rather you should not run away from an opportunity. It should always be that you are running towards another better opportunity.
Finally, you decided that just want to leave
