Career Stagnation
Syndrome
IF you are stuck in your career
ladder you might be suffering
from Career Stagnation
Syndrome (CSS)
Here are the seven
symptoms
• You have not been promoted for the
last five years.
• Your salary has not doubled in the last
five years.
• You have no clear idea where you will
be five years down the road.
• You take your job as daily pain rather
than eternal passion.
• Your excitement is taken over by
anxiety.
• You are submitting to the thought that
career advancement is not for your-
type.
• You passionately wait for the weekends
and holidays
Signs to watch out for on the road of a
career stagnation.
Boredom at Work
If your current job does not challenge you and
does not require most of the skills you possess,
then it is time to consider a change.
• The only benefit that your current job can
offer you then, is a stable pay which is also
questionable if there occurred a layoff or if
your organization preferred fresh talents who
can work better and more, and also replace
your role at a lesser cost to the company.

Solution :
• The tip would be to keep yourself constantly
updated with the changes in the job market
and the kind of skill sets that recruiters are
looking for. A talented professional is always in
demand!
No Scope for Learning
For any kind of progress at work, learning and
implementing new skills is a mandate.
• If your current job does not give you the
scope to learn and grow, then you are going to
be outdated and you are no more a resource
for the organization nor a favorable choice for
recruiters.

Solution:
• What employers seek are highly-driven
employees who can learn and grow with the
organization. The demand is so much so that,
skilled professionals who can validate their
resourcefulness through constant self-learning
and by being certified with professional
courses, can have their scales high up in their
careers.
No Rise in Salary
For any kind of progress at work, learning and
implementing new skills is a mandate.
• After all the hard work and the time at work, if
your efforts aren’t receiving the right credits
Having the same role and doing the same job
with little to no increase in pay, reduces your
selling value while you are on your next job
hunt.

Solution:
• Research and find out the benchmark salaries
for professionals in similar roles. And if you
could also rise in the ladder, with the acquired
work experience, why wait to jump ship to a
new job?
No Scope for Skills
Implementation
• Often times, when the skills of employees are
not being utilized to the utmost, it reduces
the drive, resulting in frustration at work.
• Learning supplemented with scope for
implementing what is newly learned are
essential factors to check in a job role.

Solution:
• If you’ve been in your current job for a while,
waited for enough and see no scope nor
change in your job role, be assured, there is
always an organization that demands skill-sets
that you might already possess, regardless of
the changing scenes in the job market.
Overloaded with Work
Are you a very capable and skillful employee who
is only overloaded and unnoticed at work?
Needless to say, you are at the wrong place, and
at a wrong role.
Learning supplemented with scope for
implementing what is newly learned are essential
factors to check in a job role.

Solution:
• In circumstances like this, it is time to venture
out for more career opportunities. If you find
a better-suited opportunity but wish to stay in
the organization, you could still negotiate with
the offer at hand, or, take the offer elsewhere
and return to the current organization in the
future.
No Great Opportunities
for Growth
If the current organization does not give you enough
opportunities to grow but your talent gets noticed
and you are contacted by recruiters with better
opportunities, then, why wait to pick the
opportunity.

Solution:
• In such a case, it is also suggestive that you are in
a likely position to be successful at the interview
and also negotiate to more-suited pay and
benefits. So, rise with the tide and pick
opportunities as they come, and progress faster
on your career graph.
Lacking Skills
Let’s get honest. Sometimes, there comes a point
when you realize upon self-analysis that you could
perform better by acquiring additional skills and that
the cause for career stagnation is not always
external.

Solution:
• If you can make the time required to do
professional certification courses and if it suits
your budget, then it would be a wiser decision to
invest on your growth.
• While your interest at self-improvement gets
noticed, organizations also respond positively to
such efforts and respond with suitable
upgradation in the role and pay.
In Frictional Terms
with Your Boss
• If you begin to feel, that you are being
undervalued and your ideas are not
respected, it is eventually going to result in
unhappiness at work.

Solution:
• Rather than letting all the pent-up frustration
reflect in your relationship with your boss, or
your performance at work, move on to
favorable career prospects, and save yourself
from any bitter relationships with your bosses
and colleagues.
Organization Going
Downhill
If your current organization has recently suffered
some losses and is going downhill, it is good to
stay alert on new career prospects and save
yourself from the effects of a possible recession.

Solution:
• In such a case, it would be wiser to make the
move and find opportunities elsewhere, than
waiting to be pushed to make the move.
A recent study conducted by MRI Network (Recruitment Sentiment Study,
1st Half of 2015), states that recruiters believed that the power dynamic in
the current labor market, was greatly candidate driven than being employer
driven.

If this study is to be believed, then the job market is now favorable for
employers than ever before, to jump on bandwagon and grow in their
careers, with a viable plan in place.
