I have great advice for that particular issue… take a few hours off and interview elsewhere. Even if you don’t hope to leave your job anytime in the near future, interviewing elsewhere will allow you to discover new opportunities, and give you the opportunity to look for a job before you need one. Plus, it never hurts to polish up on your interview skills.

Part of the fear of change is also the fear of the unknown. Knowing that you have the skills to find a job elsewhere might just convince you to move on.

Unfortunately, I’m only now seeing how staying at the same company for nine years is hurting me (I’m now sick of my job). I advise any young person I know to change jobs more frequently than I did.

I will say in regards to my job, I have a great boss, so that makes me fear moving to a new job with a non-great boss. And part of my “loyalty” is likely fear of change.

I am loyal to people, not some soulless company.
