Feel like my story is relevant!
Just left a job of 4 years, and I was content there! I was contacted by this new opportunity doing very similar stuff to before, just a bit of a level up in responsibilities. My interview process at the new place (zoom only, never met them in person) made me feel great, they were great to talk to and everything was so relaxed, and I've been working with them for a month now, and I haven't felt pressured once.

It was hard to make the decision because I liked my old job, it took a few weeks to decide. The people at my old place were great, and I have some great friends, which I'll have to actively keep in touch with.

What I suggest is to interview for a few places, and interview them. You are likely proficient at what you do and you have something to offer them, just see if your goals align with theirs and make sure you feel comfortable with them!

All the best, there's no harm in looking!
