And usually by year 2-3 I am bored as nothing to learn and repetitive, in fact my work product often starts to slip by 18 months. I had a job ten years and eight years as both were cushy. I literally learned nothing and barely worked in both those jobs after year two.  [/quote]

Why made you stay so long at your 10 and 8 year jobs?

I just made it past year 3 and I want to get out.  I'm terrified that if I don't do so now, I'll be stuck here forever.

It sounds like you let yourself get stuck for many, many years.[/quote]

My ten year job I came in as head of a department with a nice office. I liked the people and I had a second in charge who basically ran dept. I was figurehead who spoke at board meetings, met with regulators I was way overpaid for amount of work I did.  So I stuck around over a decade till company bought out. Got a big buy out.

I had two eight jobs actually. One early in career lower pay but super cushy, super easy, great benefits, no chance of layoffs. I was single, dating, going out with friends, going on vacations. They paid my MBA. But I quit as reached point thinking of getting engaged, buying house.

My other 8 year job extremely demanding. Like 12-13 hour days, travel, very high profile, got promoted several times. But reached peak of promotions and wife pregnant third kid  I decided to get out to a less stress and higher paid job,

Since then every 2-4 years jump. All good things come to end. Let it be on my terms.

I am end of career, so joining boards, speaking conferences, being a thought leader on AI, Cyber, Risk, Strategy interest me is preventing brain rot.

My brain rots by year three of a job so need stimulus. And yes pay me a lot I will stay a long time but my brain will still rot.
