This question has been staying in my mind since years ago?
Well, I belive that evething has it's pros and cons. It's just to weight the priority. A simple life, in an old environment, or take the challenge at a new environment.
I've been asking myself whether should I stay here to have a steady working environment, which reach office at 8.30 and go home sharp at 5.30 or take the risk of working in a more time consuming work place. Hmm.. why should I think so far away? I'm not yet being offered, I'm not yet being reported to work. This is me, I like to think far and negative.
But I know that, I'll have a very hard feeling if I really leave here. My lovely friends, my lovely cubicle =P
I don't know whether you guys should wish to good luck or not.. just let it be.

I used to be like that too, think a lot before make any decision. Human being kua... kikiki...
Scare of making wrong decision, no confidence lo. Nvm, we'll get improvement as life go on. Anyway, all the best!
Juggling work, family and finances is a challenge we all face ... but when is enough, enough?
How do you know when your level of unhappiness has reached the point of no return and you're better of leaving your job than sticking it out? While there's no tried-and-true formula to know for sure, if you notice any of the 12 signs below, it could be a very good indication that it's time to leave your job.
1. You're getting sick. Stress-related illness like migraines, insomnia, depression, anxiety or frequent infections or other illnesses are all signs that your job worries are taking a toll on your physical health. If your health is suffering physically, mentally or both, your job may not be worth it.
2. Your values aren't met. Maybe your company provides products you don't believe in or exaggerates their quality to customers. Or, your company's vision is out of sync with your own. Whatever the reason, if your ethics are being violated at work you'll have a hard time feeling fulfilled with your career.
3. You're not challenged. You'd like the chance to use your public relations/management/sales or (you fill in the blank) skills, but you're stuck doing busy work all day. A job that is not challenging you and allowing you to use the skills you've developed may be a hindrance in the long-term.
4. No room for advancement. If your company's workforce is stagnant, it means that your career won't be able to advance. An environment that offers no room for you to move up or take on more responsibility, no promotions and no rewards is not a good place to be in for long.
5. You feel belittled. Your manager is condescending and no one asks you your opinion. You don't get to sit in on important meetings and you feel your work doesn't make much of a difference. If this sounds like your job, it may be time to consider other options.
6. Your friends notice something's wrong. If the people close to you start noticing that you're "not the same person you used to be" or are often concerned that something is bothering you, it's a major sign that your work is making you unhappy--to the point that your mood and health are suffering (see #1 above).
7. The company is in trouble. It's important to work in a stable, reputable environment. A company that is constantly reorganizing, downsizing or changing leadership may not be a good long-term choice. The same goes for a company that provides no rules and procedures to protect employees (or provides them but they're not followed).
8. Your relationship with your boss/coworkers has been damaged beyond repair. Many disagreements can be resolved, but if, for whatever reason, your relationship with your boss and/or coworkers has been irreparably damaged, it may be time to bail.
9. You dread going to work every day. This is a sign that your job is not meeting your needs--financially, ethically or motivationally--and life's too short to spend it being miserable.
10. Family circumstances. A change in your personal life (marriage, having children, etc.) may make it necessary to find a new job because of location, finances or a need to spend more time at home.
11. It's an emotionally abusive environment. A work environment that's violent, is led by abusive management, and offers no route to solve grievances is an emotionally abusive one. This type of atmosphere could lead to physical and mental suffering on your end.
12. A better opportunity comes along. There may come a point in your career when a new opportunity presents itself. At this point, make a list weighing the pros and cons of each position, and if the new job comes out on top, don't be afraid to make the switch.
You've Decided to Quit ... Now What?
If you think quitting your job is the right decision, going through this checklist (before making any real decisions) is a good idea:
Discuss your thoughts about quitting with your spouse and family (it will affect them too.)
Think about all your options.
Can your current job situation be improved by talking to a manager? If not, have you researched other career options or companies that you'd like to explore?
Figure out if you can afford to quit financially. If not, try to line up a new job (even a temporary one) before you leave, or, at the very least, start sending your resume out to potential employers.
If necessary, reduce your living expenses to save money before (and after) you quit.
Whatever decision you make, try to stay positive about it. It will make it easier to find a new job or improve the one you're already in.
如果決定擊倒宿命,
請相信最後能戰勝,
就憑拼勁,可衝出這一個逆境!
如果知道真的有情,
存天與地間的生命,
一鼓勇氣昂然一聲,我自有呼應
這心聲可得到共鳴!

Sometimes we stay in a job too long because we're daunted by the prospect of looking for a new one, if you are keen to quit and have the confidence to move on, start a new job and run your own business or pursue passion...
Then, go ahead lor..
But if you let me choose, i will STAY !
schumi, why you said you will stay? What's the supporting reason?
Refer back Anonymous SecoNd posting, this assessment will validate your current position. If you faced with mostly negative answer, you might consider looking at other employement prospect.
BUT hey, talking about career change, it takes on another emotionally and physically draining task.
Take for an exmample, from basic stuff such as preparing for an interview, rounds of prepration and you've secure the job, next step would be brush your networking toolkit, cope with the new career and company environment, dealing with new collegue. IF this path does not goes as smooth as what you've expected, and that's where the STAYING in CURRENT job comes in to your mind...
What i See From YouR post..
"I've been asking myself whether should I stay here to have a steady working environment, which reach office at 8.30 and go home sharp at 5.30 or take the risk of working in a more time consuming work place. Hmm.. why should I think so far away? I'm not yet being offered, I'm not yet being reported to work. This is me, I like to think far and negative"
These are all Minor short term distraction, it does not justify why you should leave, don't make the mistake of hastily jumping into another job...
Nevertheless, 2 stay or 2 go, no one knows better than you..Good luck..:)
