[quote=Anonymous]I'm not looking for a new job.

I've been with my company for 10+ years and am pretty committed, in my mind, to another 3 years there (for various reasons).  I get paid well, I have a nice range of responsibilities, it is extremely flexible and family-friendly.  My boss and I have talked about my staying till 2016 and he is supporting some professional development opportunities for me.

At the same time, I've been in a bit of a rut lately, and feeling a little burned out.

LinkedIn sent me an email today with a job listing.  It is EXACTLY what I envision I might move to next in my career.  But the timing is all wrong.  For both professional and personal reasons, this is not a good time for me to change jobs.

DH thinks I should apply, just to see what happens.  I think I would be likely to get an interview.  Frankly, the background that they describe is almost exactly my background to a T.  I feel like it would be unprofessional to go interview for a job when I'm 90% sure that I would not be interested in it right now.
