Don't get comfortable in a comfortable job! I'd worked for the same company for many years, I'd been promoted as high as I could, despite that I was still working on the same code base which was becoming more uninteresting and I felt I wasn't learning anything.
"Just apply anyway". I was just scrolling for jobs on a random site and saw one I liked, for an entirely different language (The role included learning it). I knocked up my first proper CV in 10 minutes and sent it over! The recruiter contacted me before the company, so luckily I could make the amendments I should have before, but not longer after our contact I was offered an interview.
I feel like throwing my self out of my comfort zone, and just going for it with another position really was the best decision ever
