My partner (who actually had a résumé posted online, whereas I did not) got calls from two recruiters for the same company; and redirected one of them to me. We wanted to relocate to a warmer climate; we both interviewed and got offers.

In other words, I had sufficient skill ... but also I got lucky big-time.

(A harder question is whether I actually like my job. I've been doing it for 7+ years, but I'm also actively looking for alternatives.)

A harder question is whether I actually like my job. I've been doing it for 7+ years, but I'm also actively looking for alternatives.

Imagine that after next 7 years of looking for alternatives, it will still seem that your current job is the best choice for you.
