Would you mind sharing this? Seems really valuable.

  Sure - it's fairly personalized based on what I'm looking to get out of my career, but it has questions roughly like this: - Am I free from feeling frustrated/stressed at work once a week or more? - Am I free from work stress/anxieties outside of work hours? - Am I keeping up with my hobbies? - Do I feel respected and valued, with the ability to influence my work environment? - Do I feel proud of my work and confident discussing my job with others? - Am I learning/growing? - Am I excited about the company's direction and secure in its stability? - Do I feel like my job is secure? I score each item 1-5 (1 = rarely, 5 = always) and track the total. If that total stays below my cutoff for a few months in a row, that would trigger me to start looking. Sometimes I include notes beside any low/high scores for context. Friends have challenged this, asking if I can't just feel when it's time to move on, which I can, but I've found this leads to me being more thoughtful and proactive about it.
