When a client is hesitant about leaving a long-term job, guiding them through this decision involves careful exploration of their feelings and options. Start by encouraging them to reflect on their reasons for wanting to leave. Ask questions like, "What are your current job satisfaction levels?" and "What do you hope to find in a new role?" This helps them clarify their motivations. Next, discuss the potential benefits and risks of making a change. Create a pros and cons list together, focusing on both personal and professional aspects. Encourage them to consider their long-term career goals and whether their current job aligns with these ambitions. Lastly, remind them that change can be tough but rewarding.

I'd recommend that they take their time. There are often plenty of opportunities available but they need to be sure that they're going into a role that aligns properly with what they're looking for. It's important to research the company and the market and ask trusted advisors for advice as part of this process. I'd recommend that they question their reasons for looking in the first place and reflect on their goals and motivators as it will provide clarity as they interview with potential employers. Finally, I'd recommend going with their gut feel. If it doesn't feel right, then it probably isn't.
