Was in a similar position for about 5 years. Had a really good salary, but was doing fairly basic PHP+MySQL stuff.
I knew given my skills it was going to be difficult to find a better paying job, and remote jobs are also harder to come by in the UK and I really liked that aspect of it.
In the end the company had a difficult few months and I had to find a new position anyway. I took my time and found a new job I knew I would learn a lot from instead of just looking at salary alone. I'm in a much better place now and feel a lot more comfortable with my career moving forward. Honestly, I think you may regret more not just taking the risk. Being to comfortable isn't a good thing typically.
- justaguyhere 9y agoMy problem is that I can't change jobs easily (visa, paperwork etc). I took a risk last year and it didn't turn out well (for reasons outside of my control). I'm learning random things in my free time, but without a focus. I know I am aging dinosaur, but I just don't know how to get out of it :(
