[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Yes, association work.

I'd be fine w/ staying in a #2 role in the right place (work I believe in, great boss, space for me to still learn/grow etc...) but I'm quickly dismissed for those roles because of my salary.

I know I have no business complaining - I've had some amazing work experiences over the years, and I make great money. i make enough that I can afford to give on salary for the right job, but no recruiter thinks I mean it - they figure there's some hidden issue I'm not disclosing.

My current job is ok but I'm not enjoying it. I'm not learning anything and the things that I find frustrating or that I dislike are structural elements that won't change. (Core focus of the association for instance.) When I took this job (just a couple of years ago) I knew it could either end up feeling too lateral, or it would be a great opportunity to return to an industry I really enjoyed earlier in my career. And now I know and would like to find my next gig, and that's where I've hit the wall somehow.

These are totally privileged concerns, I get it. But I want to enjoy my career for another decade plus if possible!
