A survey by the society for Human Resource Management shows that at any given time, one in three American workers are keeping their eyes peeled for a new job opportunity.

　　Whether its inside their existing company or in another city or around the world, they are thinking about taking on a new professional challenge. For most people who voluntarily quit, a better pay is the main reason for jumping ship. Other popular reasons for turning in a resignation letter are better opportunities at another company, feeling that theres no room for professional growth and being bored with the job.

　　So, what should you consider when you are thinking about taking a new job?

　　Experts say if you are dissatisfied with the culture at your current company, you should actively consider a change. Unhappy workers are less likely to contribute all they can. And that means, future growth and raises might be limited. Better compensation at another job should also be a big consideration. More money means financial security and that leads to higher job satisfaction.
