You can be bored with your work for various reasons: you miss a challenge, you don't get along with your boss or colleagues, you need something new or you just don't like it anymore. Whatever the reason, this is an untenable situation – luckily you can do something about it.

The same, but (somewhere) different
Dissatisfaction with your work often stems from something relatively small: a specific task, the repetition of activities, one colleague or supervisor. Before considering a complete career switch, try making modest changes first. For example, maybe you can adjust your responsibilities a bit, do the same work in a different team – or even at a different organization – or report to another manager.
Complete new start
Is a more thorough intervention necessary to regain your happiness at work? Then you can completely change your career: completely different work, in a different place in perhaps a completely different industry. Now also seems to be the ideal moment for such a switch: almost everywhere they are looking for new colleagues very hard, so that in many cases you can get started without extensive experience. Still, the step can be quite exciting. What helps is if you have a good idea of your skills, interests and the jobs that match them.
Future Pro(o)f helps you on your way
