Yes. I had a very good job. If I became unemployed I would have no concerns about going back to that job if I had to. However, I should not have stayed there as long as I did. I kept looking at friends and family and seeing how their jobs were worse, so I felt like if I changed I would just be downgrading.

However, the company I was at for a very long time did not significantly reward me for my loyalty. Just small annual raises, that's it. Like any workplace, there were problems and annoyances that did not go away. No place is perfect, after all.

I have changed jobs twice since then, and it's been a big upgrade both times. I thought it couldn't be better, but it got a lot better somehow. I've been very fortunate, and I was able to negotiate very hard from a position of strength.

If I could go back I would have changed jobs a couple more times.
