A lot depends on incentives for me, I'm in much the same situation, considering moving to a different company, maybe even a different job. I may also have a chance to change my job with the current company, and since I have been working with them for over 4 years, I am not sure if I will be better off changing employers. Sometimes I think it might be better the devil you know, I have a fair amount of freedom and respect where I am now, I've earned it by being a reliable employee and not causing any problems. But at the same time I am getting bored with my job, and I'm finding that my age and life experiences are starting to catch up with me. If I can take the new position, I'll be able to work a little bit less hard physically, but still have the same or slightly more income. Plus I won't lose my health benefits by changing employers, or vacation entitlement.
