[quote=Anonymous]Yeah I'm a bit confused.

I feel somewhat similar to you in that I am in a position right now with no promotional potential and I've been in it a while (6 years) and am super comfortable, but worried if I stay, I will miss my chance to move into a job with more upward momentum. But then I look at other jobs and think about all the goodwill and just... ease I have where I am, and I don't go through with it. Maybe I'm getting complacent, I don't know. I do worry if I jumped to another job, it would be hard on my family and stressful for me and I would wonder why I gave up such a good thing.

But I don't know what the answer is. I am sure I am leaving money on the table by not moving now, but I'm not sure jumping for a higher salary makes sense if I'm going to burn out faster.

I'm also closer to potential retirement than you. 10 years, unless I decide to stay longer. which I might in my current job but not sure that would be true somewhere else.

It's hard to compare a hypothetical other job to a real current job.[/quote]
