The LEAVE Framework is a 5-sign scoring system that tells you whether to fix your job or walk away, built from patterns across 9,000+ career conversations.
A 5-sign scoring system that tells you whether to fix your job or walk away. Built by Daniel Langley from 9,000+ career conversations.
Most people stay in bad jobs too long because they cannot tell the difference between a rough patch and a dead end. The LEAVE Framework gives you five clear signals to score yourself against.
Each sign maps to a specific pattern that shows up repeatedly in career conversations: stagnation, misalignment, loss of energy, broken trust, and opportunity cost. You score yourself honestly, and the total tells you where you stand.
LEAVE does not tell you to quit. It tells you whether the evidence says stay and fix, or leave and rebuild. The scoring removes emotion from the decision and replaces it with data.
Developed by Daniel Langley from 9,000+ executive interviews, 250+ placements, and $30M+ in negotiated compensation.
