3 signs that you are too smart for your job
1. The problem? What is the problem?
You will never learn anything if you do the same thing in exactly the same way. If your colleagues are only interested in repeating the same patterns over and over again, this is unlikely to help you improve your skills. Your colleagues and the cutest people on the planet may be, but if they don’t understand you, when you go beyond your ideas, or when they are not able to talk about anything other than their traditional ways of working, then you are clearly not where necessary.

2. No one is fit for the role of a mentor
This is worth repeating: communicating with smart people makes you smarter. If you look around and don't see anyone truly smarter than you who you would like to learn from, this is an alarm. Ask yourself: “With whom can I compete on an equal footing? Communicating with anyone at work stimulates my mind? Who am I taking an example from and who am I learning from? ”If you see that there are no such people, then it's time to plan an escape.
3. Management does not have a clear vision of the future
It is difficult to develop if you absolutely do not know what the ultimate goal of your work is, and this goal - unless you yourself are in a high position - must come from above. If you want to understand where the organization is moving, but hear only silence, then the space for meaningful work is clearly limited. It is impossible to achieve something worthy, working for a person who does not have a strategy and even an understanding of where to get it. The boss should be the one you want to learn from.
