Being stereotyped

When you feel that you're being pigeonholed and you're not being recognised for your other talents, then it's time you start looking for chances to do something different, probably on a higher rung of the ladder.
You're multitasking

Being assigned multiple tasks does not necessarily mean that you've moved up. When you can do multiple jobs successfully it also means that you have the capacity to get it done too. So try and find out if your skills will be needed at a higher level.
You're free most of the time

All of us hope to have some free time at work but what if you're idle all the time? You could be finishing work faster than your peers or you could be adept at what you do and have figured out ways to complete tasks in less time. Whatever the reason this is a sign that the upper management will have to find a way to use your skills more wisely.
You've upgraded your qualification

Doing multiple courses after work or over the weekend can help you upgrade your position. Add your advanced degree or course with your work experience and you sure have a valid reason to make a change.
You're looking to quit

Usually people decide to quit when there is a lack of opportunities for growth within the organisation. However, unless you're absolutely sure that there are no attractive options available within the organisation, don't even think of moving out.
You're becoming temperamental

Work can sometimes make you feel like you're stuck in a rut and this can at times leave you feeling frustrated. Everyone goes through this phase but when you don't seem to be getting out of it then it is obvious that you need a change. If you think jobs higher up are more interesting then figure out how you can get there.
Having peers in higher management

Yes, some people move up faster than others. They might be quicker at grasping, and accepting this can be painful for you but this should in no way stop you from trying to catch up. When you know that you have an equal breadth of experience and skills as your peers, it is just a matter of time before you reach where they are.
You're extremely good at what you do

When you're looked up to in your team and considered a model employee in your group, it's your chance to go up to your department head with the necessary proof. If your talents are visibly acknowledged in the group it is time you get kicked to a higher level.
