From what I've seen most people want to keep their cake and they want to eat it too. They're not willing to change jobs. They're also not willing to work on anything outside of work. Then they complain that their careers are stagnating.
Then again I'm biased. I work on stuff out side of work and I change jobs every 2-4 years so I can work with new technology.
I did exactly that from 1999-2008. I alluded to that above when I mentioned I became an “expert beginner”. I said never again. That was my 2nd job. I’m now at #10
