Should I Quit My Job?
Start with the reason you want to leave and the information still missing. A difficult week, a repeated problem and a firm offer from another employer create different decisions. Write down what has happened before trying to turn it into a yes-or-no answer.
Our free career decision reflection lets you choose a job scenario, describe the circumstances and read a summary with questions to check. A traditional symbolic reading is an optional later step.
Name the decision you are making
Leaving a job, accepting an offer and exploring a change are related, but they call for different checks. Choose the sentence that describes what is actually on the table.
| Situation | A question you can check |
|---|---|
| You have an offer | Which terms have been confirmed, and which remain open? |
| You want to leave without another role | What commitments and practical arrangements would change? |
| You are still exploring | What can you learn before making a final decision? |
These are prompts for your own circumstances. They do not score you into a predetermined recommendation. You can add a question that is missing from the table.
Separate a repeating problem from one incident
Record what happened, how often it has happened and which part affects your work. A note such as “the priority changed twice after the task was finished” is easier to discuss than “everything here is impossible.”
Then write down what you have already tried. A conversation, a clearer brief or a different responsibility may have changed something. It may also have left the problem in place. Keep the result of that attempt beside the problem so you can see what you know.
You do not need to make the employer look worse to justify exploring another role. You need a description that remains useful when your mood changes.
What would change your view?
Choose one missing fact or conversation. For an offer, that might be a written answer about the role. For a recurring workload issue, it might be a discussion about who owns the next priority change.
An interpretation cannot supply that answer. Our Divination vs Fortune Telling article explains the site's use of traditional methods for reflection and the limits of an outcome claim.
If the matter involves your contract or another professional obligation, check the actual documents with the appropriate qualified person. The reflection tool cannot settle those obligations.
How the free reflection works
Select the scenario closest to your situation, then describe what is happening and the choice you are considering. The first response summarizes the circumstances and gives you questions to check. Read it alongside your original note.
The tool also uses a traditional symbolic stage. You can keep that separate from facts about the employer, the offer or your responsibilities. The stage is part of the reflection format; it is not evidence that a particular career outcome will occur.
The Wong Tai Sin Fortune Sticks for Career guide explains another traditional reflection format. What Is Qi Men Dun Jia? introduces the hour-chart method. Neither replaces the practical checks in your decision.
When to choose the longer reading
The optional paid interpretation develops the trade-offs and conditions for action from the question you wrote. Its current price is shown before checkout. Read the free summary first and decide whether that additional interpretation would help you think through the same situation.
A useful next step can be modest. Write the missing question, choose who can answer it and decide when you will ask. Bring that answer back to the decision before treating a reflection as permission to resign.
