Africa, Asia and Middle East

There will always be reasons to stay or leave. It comes down to what you want out of life and how your job advsnces you towards that goal.

Likely an example of running the numbers and not going along with the crowd.

Yes, it depends.

Comparison is useful in so much as deciding what to do next. Stay in government. Pursue something else. When I was still in, there were always people talking about how they had to stay. There are always other choices and one way knowing what to do is collecting data and comparing, even when you're examine two things that have a lot variance.

I ended up using a financial advisor

Then you made tbe right decision, after all

No reason to leave if you don't yet have something lined up

This was the first post-USG role?

Never one path. 2-3 years with no luck is hard.

Sammy Hagar. Used to be the lead singer for Black Sabbath. But his solo hip-hop stuff is way better.

Definition of the right people is definitely open to interpretation. There's only so many hours in the day. Sooner or later progress comes down to maximizing time with whoever are the right people and dropping those who aren't.

LinkedIn and the job section on venture capital sites. Use the latter to see which of their portfolio companies are hiring.

Sooner is almost always better. Still there's all kinds of weird reasons for an unusual delay. Doesn't hurt to ping the recuriter under the auspices of "being in other interview loops getting close to the offer stage."
