My personal case for making a change now, before it happens to me.
The general rule of thumb on how often it is recommended to change jobs used to be every five years not too long ago. Nowadays it is closer to the one to three years range, as I just learned after skimming a few sites offering general career advice. I have been working at my employer Avaya for almost 12 years, and from this 12 years, the last 9 years - although, I have grown responsibility-wise - were spent in essentially the same position. Of course, this, in itself isn't the reason, or justification for moving on to the next stage of my career by leaving Avaya. In this post, I summarize my thoughts and feelings about making this decision for myself.
