[quote=Anonymous]Latest job 7 years but I feel it’s been too long.  Promoted 3x. More than doubled my salary.

Last promotion 2 years ago and 6 months ago told I would be promoted by end of year but hiring freeze so who knows.  If I get promoted again that’s basically it.

I think 7 years is too long honestly.  I’m getting bored and putting out feelers/ networking/ applying to roles I would only take.

There has been vague talk of layoffs and I know I wouldn’t be laid off but one or two on my team might be (basically because their work would come back to me).

How are some of you dealing with this?  I would like a new role, more $, but am concerned about potential layoffs.  I worry if I stay longer  I’ll be here basically forever.  I have a lot of autonomy and get to travel, but this isn’t how I viewed my life.

I was in two other careers prior to this and this one fell into my lap and seemed like a good idea at the time.  I viewed it as a max 3-4 year stint but once I was at 4 years I knew due to my work I was almost at that big promotion so stayed.
