Are you ready to change job ?

When the job market returning back to normal, many employees waken up from hibernation, starting looking for better jobs. One of my co-worker will start a new job ( less stress, close to home, newer system) in 2 weeks.
The trigger of this post are some comments I saw posted on the Business2.0 blog -
"I think the whole 'Web 2.0' is also having people leave their jobs to start their out companies or to join startups. I see a lot of people fed up with the 'day to day' work, and willing to go for something exciting. I took the plunge myself, and although you miss the 'job security', you make up for it in the new and fun technologies you can play with".
"I left my job as an investment banker recently to start my own custom gift company - a complete 180 but a perfect fit for me. Part of it was the long and unpredictable hours, and part of it was that I always felt that the job underutilized my core strengths: creativity, design, and my ability to connect with people. I feel like many (not all) large organizations look for a cookie cutter employee: one that works efficiently and effectively, doesn't question 'the system', and looks to their peer group for confirmation of success. Those with a visionary spirit often don't tend to flourish in such an environment ".
Are you ready to change your job ?
