Work must be changed every 5 years. Is it worth changing jobs: how to understand? Do you think that your strengths and qualities are not appreciated?

In the life of many people there comes a special moment when, willy-nilly, they begin to think about changing jobs. There are very, very many prerequisites for such thoughts - someone is not satisfied with the relationship in the team, someone understands that he will not be able to advance in the enterprise career ladder. But most are simply dissatisfied with their level of income. And it also happens that everything gets boring to such an extent that you just want to leave, so as not to observe all this and not worry about what is happening.

Recently, you rarely meet a person who has been working at one enterprise for a long time. Such a phenomenon can even be called nonsense, because an employee should always strive for the best, and not wait until something is brought to him on a silver platter. But where is the probability that after a while you will not regret your choice and will not want to change your workplace?

If you look into any search engine, you will definitely find a bunch of recommendations there on how to properly look for a job. And it seems like it seems to all of us that changing jobs is a bold step towards a successful future. But to be honest, this is not always the case. Sometimes this choice is wrong. So if you are faced with a similar situation, ask yourself: “Is it right that I am going to leave one job for another?”

Tempting offers. Truth or lie?

First of all, it should be noted that once you are in a new workplace, you will not initially understand the course of all the affairs and conversations taking place within the team. Also, it is worth paying attention to the fact that some companies fraudulently lure employees to themselves: by offering career ups and big salaries. And when a person agrees to a similar proposal, he, after a while, is disappointed to find that all the words spoken to him are a complete lie. Often, the company's management is looking not for employees, but for slaves who will meekly perform all the tasks assigned to them, despite the fact that this "burden" can be unbearable. But the fact that wage always arrives on time - doesn't mean you have to overwork, staying late at work or working on your legal days off. It also happens that for a common misconduct, the employer imposes fines on its employees and lowers their salary. So if you do not want to get into a similar situation, then before you decide to change jobs, try to find out as much as possible about the company you want to go to. in a good way for this, it may be to view the "black lists" of dishonest employers who deceive hired workers on the Web.

In addition, the most truthful information about the features of the enterprise you like can be obtained from people who worked or are still working on it. After all, if a person is still working there, it means that he is satisfied with everything: the pay, the team, as well as the attitude of the authorities towards him. Also, it would not hurt you to communicate with future colleagues. It is not a fact, of course, that they will tell you about everything that happens at the enterprise or in the team, but still you will be able to get some information.

Action plan

If it so happened that you received a tempting offer, then play it safe a little. To do this, of course, it is worth starting to collect information about the enterprise to which you are invited. If the company has a positive reputation, then try to take a vacation from your main job and work a little at a new one. Often new employee must pass probation. This means that you do not have to take work book from your previous job until you finally decide to change it. In other words: You need to get comfortable in a new job, while not quitting your old job. Only in this way you can protect yourself from the occurrence of unpleasant situations associated with a change of job.

It also happens that the doubts are very high, but there is no way you can find out more details about the new job without quitting the old one. AT this case you need to think carefully: is there any point in changing something in life at all?

Write down all the advantages and disadvantages of your current job. Be that as it may, people often find a lot of positive aspects in their work. These may include the fact that the work is close to home, the team has a good atmosphere, and the salary is not so small. It is possible that it may happen that a person finds more high paying job, but soon realizes that he didn't appreciate what he had. He begins to ask to be taken back, because in a new place he does not feel like a man.

You should not chase big money and even popularity, which are not so easy. Why leave a job where you are valued, respected and where you have complete freedom of action and understanding from your superiors? You should think carefully and determine your priorities in life. Decide what is more important to you high salary, interesting job or the availability of free time + kind and understanding colleagues.

Quit if you can no longer tolerate what is happening at work or understand that even if you quit, you will not lose anything. For example, they began to pay you a low salary, but at the same time they demand to work for three, stay up late, not at all thinking that you simply do not have time to live. It happens, it also happens that the boss wants to get rid of the employee in various ways, arranging for him a “fun” life, thereby forcing him to leave work even after own will. In general, if you understand that you are very tired at work, and this fatigue is not only physical, but also moral, do not torture yourself, leave. Otherwise, you risk earning health problems. But if you want to leave because of the little things, before you cut in the heat of the moment, weigh the pros and cons and only then make the final decision.

A person who is slavishly devoted to his employer and worries about his position is not able to think about career growth, and, at the same time, about a new level of income. Modern society quite normally perceives the fact when a person wants to find himself best work. It is only necessary that the person himself decides whether he is doing the right thing.

How do you know if you need to think about changing jobs?

The first reason that you should change jobs is boredom and routine that accompany you all day at work. Very often a person works like a machine. That's why you should listen to yourself and not turn your life into a continuous "Groundhog Day". You say: “So what? That's how a lot of people live." But you can’t be equal to someone, to identify yourself with other people. Perhaps as soon as you change the working environment, you will begin to feel much happier than you were before.

The second reason is that you cannot count on promotion through the ranks. Often, such situations arise in small companies in which employees simply have nowhere to “grow”. They hold their position and do not even hope that they will ever be promoted. Here all the places are distributed by the leadership, and it simply does not work to jump over someone. At the same time, if you can take the opportunity to “horizontally grow”, that is, move to another department or change the direction of your work, be sure to do it, because it will only benefit you.

The next reason stems from the uncertainty associated with stability. When a company barely survives, employees do not see wages for six months, and some even try to find new job, then this is a bad sign. It’s not worth staying in your place, you need to look for a new job because one day the enterprise will cease to exist, and you simply find yourself on the street without money and a job.

An important reason why most employees quit is low wages. After all, in every country from year to year there is a gradual increase in the rise in prices for services and goods. This should mean that wages, in fact, should also increase. But there is no progress in the enterprise better side. Add here more nit-picking from the authorities and all kinds of fines, and here it is - a picture of reality, the best way out of which will be an immediate job change.

If an unhealthy atmosphere reigns in the team, and each employee is somehow trying to substitute his neighbor, then this means that you need to think about changing jobs. It is very difficult to work in such teams because of moral pressure. In such an environment, there is always a high probability that someday it will be you who will become the “fake victim”. And in order to protect yourself from the development of such a scenario, it is better to slowly start looking for another, more relaxed job with adequate and responsible people.

Among the reasons actively hinting at a job change, there may be those that come from you personally. For example, you are constantly late, and you can’t help yourself, or you can simply get distracted while working, which indicates that you are not performing your direct duties well.

You can't progress further in this job because you've already achieved the impossible. But, at the same time, no one raises you and everything remains in its place - both the position and the salary. Agree that the monotonous work that is done from year to year, over time, begins to bother. The way out of this situation will be to find a job in a related field. Whatever it was in the future, but the experience gained will still benefit you.

If you notice that all your efforts do not lead to the desired result, think about changing your workplace. For example, you show in every possible way that you deserve the best, while working hard and showing initiative in all the undertakings of the leadership, but this is not appreciated in any way. In this case, just do not waste your energy and look for another job.

When a company is in a deep crisis, and employees, every now and then, are sent on vacation at their own expense or threaten not to pay wages. It is better to leave on your own before the company is completely bankrupt.

It is very difficult for women in this regard. They must clearly understand what they are striving for: to make a career or become a good mother. If you don't want work to affect relationships in your family, then try to find a job closer to home and with more flexible hours.

If you have health problems, you should also think about changing jobs. After all, your body directly declares that it is uncomfortable. Maybe your work schedule doesn’t suit you or constant stresses interfere with your life. Here you need to look for a quieter job. Of course, you may not be promised a very large salary, but health is more expensive than all the money in the world. So right?

Reason for leaving work

Many people are hesitant to change jobs for fear of losing what they have. this moment time. Of course they can be understood. But, at the same time, employers do not encourage long-term work in one unpromising place. They may regard this as the fact that you are not confident in yourself, do not want to test your strength and generally do not develop as a person. If you have been working for 2 or 3 years and you see that nothing has changed either in the team or at the enterprise, then change your job to a new one and do not be afraid of anything.

Now let's talk about objectivity in changing jobs. Very often, the reason for changing jobs is ... bosses, who, no matter how strange it sounds, make you work. But you must understand that it cannot be otherwise. And if you came to work, be kind - work, but if you don’t, then leave. If you work under normal conditions, but at the same time (it happens) you cannot play games or stay in in social networks in working time, do not take it as a tragedy and do not blame the authorities for anything. In fact, at work, you need to deal exclusively with work, and not with all sorts of games and entertainment that should be set aside for later.

Conclusion

The best time to change jobs is spring. That's what psychologists say. But you should listen to your feelings, because often in the spring the body begins to readjust to a new regimen. And the last tip. Never promise a future employer to start work "right now." One way or another, you will not start working this minute, so pay attention to the fact that there is clarity and clarity in the words you say. Just understand that you may still have to finish unfinished business at your previous place of work. This is the only way you can leave without leaving any debt behind. After all, as you know, haste does not lead to anything good. And then, with a clear conscience, you will be able to begin new duties.

Thank you for your attention!


Has it happened that suddenly tired of the old place of work? Do you want change? Would you like to do something different and from a different professional field?

If such thoughts come to your mind, it means that the time has really come for a change - a cardinal change in your life - it's time to change jobs. A passionate desire for change means that you are mentally ready for them, it remains only to perform this action, which for some reason begins to interfere with experiences, even doubts whether you are doing the right thing.

Have the courage not to be afraid of an unknown future, put aside your worries and fears, this is your life and you are not doing anything illegal. You should not worry about how the bosses at work will react, what colleagues will think, what friends or girlfriends will say. In this case, there is only one adviser - you yourself. Everyone with whom you communicate will be able to help only in one thing - in bringing new information into your consciousness. For example, to tell a similar story from own life or heard from friends, but they, most likely, will not be able to give any practical advice now. By the way, you will not listen to other people's advice.

Time changes the rules of the game

How often you need to change jobs is up to you and no one else. Times are changing, customs are changing, and the fact that in the middle of the last century it was considered the norm to work at one enterprise for as long as possible is now perceived as an attribute of another era and is not of decisive importance.

It used to be important to earn continuous experience- it was reflected in retirement, encouraged by state policy, today there are other rules and priorities - nothing and no one obliges a modern person to work at one enterprise for decades. There is no negative attitude to changing jobs, on the contrary, it is believed that in a new place a person works with great diligence, as a result, with greater productivity.

A job change promises the employee new prospects, positive emotions from communicating with new people and increased wages.

Not all people know from childhood who they will be when they become adults, it happens that, already working, you suddenly realize that this place is not happy and, not that you can’t do it at all, you just want to do another job.

They say you can’t command the heart, this is true both in relations between people and in the relationship of a person and his favorite business.
Everything said here is not advice to leave or stay, but information, so the situation is described in relatively detail and with answers to possible "Why?".

Do all people need to change jobs? What for?

Of course, you can not go to extremes. If previously welcomed work on one the only place, this does not mean that now everyone has to look for a new job with strict periodicity.

If everything suits you, and the working conditions, and the salary, and the team, then it is illogical to look for a new place.
But when the existing job becomes an unbearable burden, it will annoy, depress, and then there is a desire to leave. When this happens, you will immediately feel it.

How often can you get a new job and why?

Everyone has their own reasons for changing jobs, they either arise or they don’t, so there is no right answer to the question “How often” should you get a new job. If everything suits your current job, then there is no need to leave, objective reasons are another matter, for example, those included in -

Burnout Syndrome.

This accumulation of negative energy, received in the process of professional activity, concerns a wide range of professions, arises from very many specific reasons, of which there are several dozen. Among them:

The need to communicate with people who are negatively disposed towards you;
unsuitable conditions work, lack of career growth, low salary;
daily unpredictability of work-related events;
chronic fatigue, emotional and physical exhaustion;
feeling of uselessness, apathy, indifference towards work;
irritability, constant anxiety, depression;
and many others - the list of reasons is very capacious.

If you think that you have reasons for changing jobs, then no one's opinion matters if you are completely "befriended", then it does not matter how long you have worked on it, consider it necessary - leave.

For many people it is difficult to work in one place for more than 3, maximum 5 years. By the way, according to psychologists, after about the same period of time, most people get tired of the on-duty monotony of work relationships - between the daily trip back and forth, the team, bosses, work itself, lunch exercise - the resulting fatigue easily develops into stress. Some people deal with this condition, some don't.


On a note:
For the modern employer long work the applicant in the previous place is not considered as a positive quality, rather, on the contrary, he will prefer to employ a person who has worked in the previous place for 3-4 years, and not 10 years.

Is it possible to work your whole life in one job and remain inquisitive and interesting person? Yes and no - it depends on what a particular person is doing and on his character. A person of a creative profession most often remains an interesting interlocutor all his life, because creativity is impossible without the development of the person himself, but there is great amount professions and positions where the professional circle of occupations is monotonous. In such positions, not all employees have a desire to work, and are not able to work for a long time.

Long-term performance of the same actions and functions in one place for a number of years creates in the employee a feeling of a peculiar situation that has arisen around him. "warm world", this is the so-called comfort zone, which dulls all aspirations and leads to social apathy.

Availability "warm world" contributes to the fear of any novelty, unwillingness to change, a person now no longer thinks of changing jobs, even if the salary has ceased to be competitive. There is a term in economics "stagnation" with meaning "stay", "do not develop", something similar happens to a person, though for him the conditions are more stringent - he cannot "stay"- it either develops or degrades, there is no middle position. The most striking example of such a situation is when, when talking with a person, it is difficult to find a topic for communication outside of his usual work. It may sound unpleasant, but such is our nature.


On a note:
Lack of desire for new knowledge is the path to depression. If a person has been “sitting” in one place for a very long time, a new employer may think: “Is everything in order with the psyche of the candidate” Well, that's the way things are these days.

Today it is not prestigious to work in one place for a long time.

Performing the same work day after day, the employee loses initiative, the work becomes so familiar that it begins to seem boring, possibly useless. The employee ceases to generate ideas, he himself and all his working activity move inertially at the pace gained in the first year after employment. So the worker becomes uncommunicative and closes in "his own world". Behavior when a person loses interest in communicating with others is called antisocial.

Thus, a generalized portrait of the applicant is emerging, which will be of interest to the employer, and out of two applicants for employment, the applicant with a long experience at the previous job is at the end of the queue or is not noticed at all. This is how his antisocial image is perceived negatively.

What does a person feel when changing jobs

A change of work creates an outlet in the routine of family relationships, and personal conflicts, which also happen, and a new job is exciting, it satisfies the natural human desire to learn new things. Learning something new, you get fresh topics for conversation, including in the family, you again become an interesting conversationalist.

At the new workplace, for the first time you will meet people, get used to it, by the second year you will become an expert, and in the third year you will become an expert in your field. During this period, as a rule, there is a surge of strength and inspiration from work.


On a note:
Do not forget that applicants who have worked in the previous place for several weeks or months will also be of no interest to the employer. It is generally accepted that for them, changing jobs is so familiar that it becomes on a par with the work itself in importance, which means that such workers will be a burden. They even have names for them. "flyers", "jumpers", "runners". If you are one of them, reduce your ardor, because one day they will not even talk to you at all.

Job search time can be long

A long search for a new job can be very frustrating, but do not despair. According to statistics, the applicant finds the desired job after many months, he is in search of six months or more. Therefore, if you are looking for a job only for another month, do not despair, this is the norm, it is extremely rare in a different way. Just keep searching constantly, and not occasionally - the more effort you put in, the faster you will achieve the desired result.

You decide how often you need to change jobs, the main thing is to pay attention to your condition, because even a seemingly insignificant, but constant feeling of fatigue can be an important signal when you need to think about changes in your working life.

Try to keep up with the times. We do not know the rules of the future, but we know that today the mores of the past no longer work, we know that now it is in the order of things not to hold on to a workplace in a company where you are not at all comfortable to be.

We learned how to understand that it is time to change jobs, how to distinguish fatigue accumulated over a year without a vacation from a career crisis, and whether it is worth changing everything abruptly if you no longer like your job.

Three signs that it's just a blues:

  • You began to get tired, bored faster, especially when you do the least favorite part of the job. But when switching to other types of work, this state quickly passes.
  • You are all with great pleasure and more and more often ready to go to drink coffee with colleagues, to be distracted, if only not to deal with current tasks.
  • Waking up in the morning, you are very upset that it's only Tuesday, Wednesday and further down the list and you have to go to work.

Three signs that it's probably time to change jobs.

  • You began to get tired faster when you do any kind of work, even familiar and understandable to you. And when switching to other tasks, this feeling does not go away, and sometimes it intensifies.
  • Hiking with colleagues for coffee, for lunch, does not cause enthusiasm at all. It seems to you that all the talk is about the same thing and nothing new is happening. You are not evolving.
  • You constantly feel that you are underestimated, do not understand that the management is doing everything wrong.

In both the first and second cases, it is best to first take a short vacation if possible and be sure to go somewhere to change the situation. Best of all in nature, in a not very crowded place. The first two or three days it is better not to think about anything at all, just relax, unload the brain. Then, gradually recovering, analyze the causes of fatigue and discontent.

Try to be honest with yourself: find external and internal reasons. External ones can almost always be changed. If the reasons are external (for example, the manager does not give me the promised promotion, and this constantly demotivates me and poisons my mood), then be sure to talk to the manager, get feedback work and next steps. If the reasons are internal (for example, you don’t like the functionality at the workplace, you have long wanted to do something else, and this is impossible within the framework of this company), then perhaps it’s time for you to go in search of a new job! Another important indicator, if after a great vacation your battery lasts for several days, and then apathy and longing again, then these are already serious symptoms. And perhaps it's not just the desire to change jobs, but the reasons are deeper.

I always advise meeting and communicating with friends, loved ones, in order to better understand, and in some cases a visit to a psychologist, this will also help you better understand what exactly is happening to you. Also useful are meetings with not the closest, but with successful and, most importantly, positive people, communication with such people always gives new thoughts and impulses for development. Looking for a new job is also an energy-consuming process, and if you walk through the interview tired and depressed, it is unlikely that anyone will be interested.

We are often approached by people who are at a professional crossroads. Someone feels emotional burnout, it seems to someone that he has reached the ceiling and there is nowhere to develop, someone wants to escape from office slavery and become a freelance artist.

Often we do not understand the factors from which this snowball arose. Let's try to understand them. First, we analyze the current situation, analyze what we like about work and what makes life unbearable. And we think what to do. I will try to summarize the questions that I always ask clients to answer in order to compile a universal checklist of my own professional audit.

Do I like what I do every day?
- Is my salary in line with the market?
- Am I ready to expand the range of my duties, take more responsibility?
- Do I want to continue working with this leader?
- Do I feel comfortable with my colleagues, and they with me?
- Is everything comfortable for me at my workplace, in the office?
Maybe it's time for me to go on vacation?

The answers to these seven questions can be a starting point for understanding the need for change - and, most importantly, what kind.

The situation can be corrected by talking with the manager about the prospects for growth, changing the office, which is closer to home, transferring to another department, or simply rearranging the office - away from the air conditioner or closer to the window. And sometimes really moving to another field or realizing your entrepreneurial or creative potential is the optimal revolutionary solution. It sounds simple, but to come to this, it takes time and a frank conversation, first of all with yourself.

From time to time, each of us has crises that can make adjustments to your life plans. Such crises are often related to our professional activities. For example, the crisis of professional deformation, which is often observed in people who have been in the profession for 10 years. There are also small cycles, when every three years we have a desire to change something. This state in itself indicates that now you are ready for transformations and changes.

But is it worth it to radically change everything, even if you really want to? Throughout our career, we develop certain competencies and rich professional experience. But there is a crisis, and people make rash decisions. Unfortunately, such financial directors There are quite a lot of people who go to beauticians and psychologists. However, only a few really succeed. The rest fail, and the desired positive changes in their lives do not occur.

If you are on fire with the idea to radically change your professional activity, try to moderate the ardor and turn off this state of dissatisfaction. Maybe the problem lies not in work, but it is better to make changes, for example, in your personal life? But if you feel that you still cannot do without decisive action, then the easiest way is to try yourself in a new field in a company where you already work. It's less dangerous than going free-swimming. Here you know the specifics of the activity, you have more expertise, management and colleagues know you better. Or you can immerse yourself in a new field of activity in the form of training or a hobby to understand whether it is for you or not. Such a horizontal transition will take place with minimal losses.

You need to prepare for the fact that if you plan to change absolutely everything radically, then you will have to seriously pay for it. Indeed, despite the experience gained over the years and professional value, in a new field of activity you will begin to compete with those people who have just entered the labor market, with students whose salary expectations are much lower.

If just the word "Monday" causes a fit of aggression, if the work seems routine, and the salary is mockingly small, if there are no prospects - perhaps it's time to change jobs? In addition, employers themselves are often suspicious of employees who have “stayed too long”: they are already accustomed to their duties, their daily actions have reached automaticity, every step is verified, everything goes according to plan ... One gets the impression that even if the world turns upside down they won't notice it!

Looking for a new job or staying at the old one? How to understand that the time for a change of activity has really come? What factors indicate that no prospects await in the old place? How often is it advisable to change jobs so that the salary grows, but at the same time not become an eternal seeker?

Long time no see...

Representations of how many people should work at one workplace, among representatives different countries various. In Japan, where the stability and settledness of each worker is welcomed, it is considered the most correct to work in one place for as long as possible. They say that in the Land of the Rising Sun, employees do not need to constantly monitor similar vacancies in the labor market in search of higher pay, because the salary of the Japanese is directly dependent on the duration of work in one place. In Europe, the best option is to work in one place for 3-4 years: during this time, the employee has the opportunity to prove himself "in all its glory" and rise to the highest possible pay for his work. In the US, the length of time required for maximum career advancement has been tacitly reduced to 2-3 years.

Unlike foreign companies, where work experience of more than one year in one place is already considered quite solid and sufficient to qualify for a promotion and salary increase, Ukrainian employers are much less loyal to "defectors". Frequent job changes are not the best positive characteristic potential employee. After all, this may reflect the quarrelsomeness of a person in a team, the inconsistency of his professional qualities requirements and, in the end, raises a logical question: is it possible to expect that such a person will stay for a long time in a new place of work?

Recruitment agency specialists are unanimous: the ideas of employers and employees about “what is good and what is bad” are very different. Employers tend to be wary of employees who change jobs more than once every 4-5 years. On the other hand, employees of Ukrainian companies do not have many chances to make a serious career in one company: the managers are usually young, they are not going to retire, and staff expansion is not expected. In such conditions, the only opportunity for career growth is a change of employer. Therefore, if the main goal of an employee is career, it is hardly worth staying in one place for more than two years. If, within 1.5-2 years, the employee’s competencies do not expand and, as a result, the salary does not increase, then this is already a “loud signal” to start looking for a new job.

Change change strife

Employers are alarmed not only by frequent job changes, but also by sharp reversals in specialization. If a person leads first transport company, then - a restaurant, and today he claims a position in an insurance company, according to experts, this does not speak of versatile professionalism, but of primitive ideas about business and inflated ambitions.

Generally speaking, employees of recruitment agencies argue that it is simply necessary to change jobs periodically. They even give approximate dates. So, for example, in the field of sales it is desirable to change jobs every 3-5 years, in production - once every 8-10 years, but in science or art you can work for quite a long time without losing interest in your business. If a specialist stays in one position and no longer grows, a job change may be appropriate. It is believed that an employee who has been working for more than three years in one position loses the ability to develop. Therefore, employers are trying to increase the position of such a person, or at least change his duties.

When it is necessary to leave work and whether it is necessary to leave at all - everyone decides solely for himself, based not so much on objective factors, but so much on how these objective factors suit or do not suit him specifically. No job is defined solely by salary, the loyalty of a boss, or proximity to home. Let's say a person doesn't get a salary increase for a year, but the boss is golden, the work is interesting, from home - 10 minutes walk, and at home - a family that requires not only money, but also attention. And this employee will think a hundred times before looking for just a big salary. And so it is in each individual case. Therefore, general recommendations may not work in a particular case, because no one except the person himself knows his personal aspirations, problems and worries.

Age and temperament as a guide to action

However, there are many people in the world who are simply tired of sitting in one place and doing the same things. However, experts emphasize that in the matter of changing jobs, the main thing is not to confuse the change of company with professional growth. You can often change jobs to almost equivalent, without gaining anything significant. It's not always the right thing to use a job shift as a way to avoid routine. So, for example, an accountant cannot avoid routine in any job.

Various studies show that young people most often indulge in creative search, and in the track record of 40-50-year-olds there are no more than 4-5 job changes. The desire to change places is influenced not only by age, but also by temperament. The easiest way to change everything that they don’t like is choleric people: in the heat of a quarrel, they can not only quit, but finally “slam the door” loudly. Sanguine people also move easily from one place to another, as they can adapt without too much trouble. Phlegmatic people, who are not so easy to adapt to a new team, rarely change jobs. As for melancholics, it is better for them to change jobs only in extreme cases: they do not have a desire to change places, and depression can even begin from an unfamiliar environment.

"Achieving Success" vs. "Avoiding Failure"

However, according to experts, in order to become happy and rich, it is not enough to change one job alone - you need to change your psychology. Today, the theory is quite popular that poor people are poor not because they earn little, but because they cannot imagine themselves outside the state of poverty, cannot imagine that they could dress in expensive boutiques, buy expensive products, go on vacation to the most popular resorts. If a person suffers from the "poverty syndrome", he will subconsciously choose a lower-paid, but stable job - say, in a state institution.

The concepts of wealth and poverty, making money and spending it are very relative depending on who talks about it. In psychology, there is a definition of the orientation of motivation: "achieving success" and "avoiding failure." These characteristics are present in the life of every person, regardless of the amount of money. They are formed by many factors, ranging from the type nervous system and ending with the upbringing and lifestyle of the parents (including the amount of money they have).
