1) I think I'm held back looking for the "perfect" next job, rather than one that will advance my knowledge, pay, and happiness. Is this just procrastination? If so, what barriers should I look to remove and should I settle for one or two out of the three? 2) How often should I look to move jobs or titles? I'm at a place where either you leave in two years or less or you're a lifer. I'm working on the lifer at almost 12 years and SO unhappy. 3) Should I lower my job prospect expectations as I age? I just hit my 50s and feel like companies won't want to invest resources (training/continuing education), into someone my age so feel like I have to know everything for a particular job/position to be considered. Is that reasonable? (I'm a believer in life long learning and love new challenges)
