I say Congratulations! 5 years is long enough as a employee at any tech company that isn't your own (or that you have serious upside in). Take what've you learned and forge you're own path. A path with control. Yes control... If you're employed by a company you have zero control (though, good managers work hard to make you feel exactly the opposite) and you can be fired/laid off/let go at any moment, without notice - job security is laughable. Congratulations, now forge ahead with control!
