There are lots of reason people leave jobs, be it: Money, progression, development, changing industry, not getting on with management, changes in personal situations... the list goes on!

Whether you are leaving for the good or the bad, resigning is never easy but for the sake of your personal or professional growth or your mental health, sometimes "biting the bullet" or "pulling the plug" is the best thing you can do for you! (especially if you have been in a toxic work environment)

We have all worked places where there is no clear next step or where you find yourself fighting to get out of bed in the morning and having to drag yourself to work... That is the sign to put feelers out and explore the job market in my opinion!
(I would first recommend speaking to your manager about your concerns, maybe they aren't aware and can support you... If you don't ask you wont know until you have potentially wasted your time interviewing, just to find out they can offer everything you want!)
Here are a few tips for when it is time to resign:
(At Steadman Brown we work through these points and more with all of our candidates, supporting them through the resignation process as we understand this is quite often the most difficult thing people face throughout the entire process of finding a new role)

????Be polite and professional at all points. (Even if your manager isn't)
????Get your resignation written up and have a conversation/meeting with your manager when handing it in, if possible. (This makes it more personal)
????You will be offered something to stay! (If you are leaving for a reason other than money, make your stance clear and stick to your guns)
????Work with you manager on how to deliver this information to the team/business. (It can have a bigger impact on those around you than you may think)
????Agree an accurate final working day. (Can the notice be reduced or on the other hand if your ending on great terms can you stay longer to support the handover)
????Create a clear and detailed handover for the person who will be stepping into your shoes (I am sure you would appreciate the same in your new role)
????Work as hard through the notice period as you would on any other day (leave feeling good about your departure and on as positive a note as possible)

These are a few small recommendations than can aid in the transition and if you can avoid burning bridges, I would recommend it as you never know who you will meet again!
