你如何判断当前的工作该不该辞

    艾德蒙得•劳的回答，协作办公应用Quip工程师

    许多危险信号应该让你重新考虑自己在当前公司的位置，其中包括：

    未得到公正的待遇。

    受到欺压，价值被低估，得不到尊重。

    不认同公司的根本战略或做法，却没有能力做出改变。

    与上司和团队成员的相处不融洽。

    无法融入公司文化。

    如果你想跳槽，提出这些理由都很容易成立。

    当你在目前公司能学到的东西越来越少，陷入瓶颈时，这也意味着是时候考虑离开了。这个理由更加微妙，许多人都意识不到，但实际上，它可能会对更多人产生影响。选择另外一个团队或一家公司，意味着你有机会尝试不同的学习曲线，进而加快你的学习进程。

    通常而言，我们都应该重视学习速率，这对于初入职场的年轻人尤为重要。学习是对自己未来的一项投资。而且学习是一个不断积累的复合过程——知识带来更多知识，在此基础上让你学得更多更快。因此，大多数人在大学里学习的知识要多于高中，而在高中学习的知识则要多于初中。理想情况下，大学毕业之后，我们应该让自己比以前学到更多知识。

    在关于“大学生毕业后为什么应该选择初创公司而非知名公司”的讨论中，帕兰提尔技术公司（Palantir Technologies）联合创始人史蒂芬•科恩提到了学习积累效应的重要性：

    如果你22岁从斯坦福大学（Stanford University）毕业后被谷歌（Google）聘用，你将得到一份朝九晚五的工作。而真正努力工作的时间可能只是从上午11点到下午3点。你会得到丰厚的报酬，工作也很轻松。但你所接受的薪酬，实际上是以更低的知识增长速度作为交换。如果你知道知识是需要不断积累的，你便会发现错过长期积累的机会需要付出多么巨大的代价。他们给你的并非一生中最好的机会。接下来会发生一件可怕的事情：有一天，你可能意识到，你失去了竞争优势。你再也不是最优秀的人。你再也不会对新事物迸发出热情。在这样的公司，一切都唾手可得。而你却变得沾沾自喜，止步不前。

    初创公司可能并不适合所有人，但不要降低知识增速的观点依旧适用。

    怎么看对所从事工作的激情？对公司使命或自己正在从事的工作充满激情，并为之感到兴奋，对于保持陡峭的学习曲线至关重要。激情和有意义的工作会提供长期学习的动力，使你始终保持“心流”状态。米哈里•契克森米哈是全球积极心理学领域首屈一指的研究者，他提出了“心流”理论。在“心流”状态下，你会非常享受自己正在从事的工作，甚至于忘记了时间的流动，并且，他发现更多“心流”通常会带来更多快乐。而除非你相信并享受自己的工作，否则很难长期保持学习的动力，也很难进入“心流”状态。而只要对自己的工作充满热爱，你肯定会变得越来越好。

    A number of red flags should cause you to reconsider your position at your current company, including:

    Being compensated unfairly.

    Being mistreated, undervalued, or disrespected.

    Disagreeing with the fundamental strategy or practices of the company and not being in a position to change them.

    Failing to get along with your manager and your teammates.

    Failing to fit in with the company culture.

    These types of reasons aren’t too hard to identify and provide concrete justifications for trying something new.

    It’s also time to leave when your learning rate at your job tapers off and starts to plateau. This is a much more subtle reason for leaving that’s harder for people to recognize but likely affects a much larger group of people. Transitioning to another team or company provides an opportunity to switch to a different learning curve and to accelerate your learning.

    Paying attention to your learning rate is important in general but particularly important for young professionals. Learning is an investment in yourself for the future. It also compounds — knowledge not only begets knowledge, but more knowledge gives you a foundation upon which to gain knowledge even faster. This is why most people learn more in college than they did in high school and more in high school than they did in earlier years. Ideally, out of college, you should set yourself up to learn even more than before.

    Palantir Technologies co-founder Stephen Cohen captures the importance of the compounding effects of learning in an argument for why college graduates ought to work at startups instead of established companies:

    If you graduate from Stanford University at 22 and Google recruits you, you’ll work a 9-to-5 job. It’s probably more like an 11-to-3 job in terms of hard work. They’ll pay well. It’s relaxing. But what they are actually doing is paying you to accept a much lower intellectual growth rate. When you recognize that intelligence is compounding, the cost of that missing long-term compounding is enormous. They’re not giving you the best opportunity of your life. Then a scary thing can happen: You might realize one day that you’ve lost your competitive edge. You won’t be the best anymore. You won’t be able to fall in love with new stuff. Things are cushy where you are. You get complacent and stall.

    Startups might not be for everyone, but the message about not shortchanging your intellectual growth rate still applies.

    What about a passion for what you’re working on? A strong passion and excitement in your company mission or in what you’re doing is critical to sustaining a steep learning curve. Passion and meaningful work supply the motivation for long-term learning and allow you to stay in a state of flow more often. MihayliCsikszentmihalyi, one of the world’s leading researchers in positive psychology, developed the theory of “flow,” a state where you enjoy what you’re doing so much that you don’t even notice the passage of time, and found that more flow generally leads to more happiness. It’s hard to stay motivated to learn or to enter a state of flow in the long run unless you believe in and enjoy what you do, and it’s also hard not to be getting better if you love what you’re doing.
