10 years and looking for an out. One thing to be aware of is that long stays are probably better with a large company with a slower rate of change. Staying at a small company for a long time is riskier in that you end up becoming more of a generalist, become the goto and the goat and are in real danger if the company changes leadership late in the game. Find that as an older individual trying to get back into a 9-5 workplace after 10 years in a specialized environment (doing everything) does not translate well to the current market.

I like the generalist route and have always avoided roles that lock me into a specialty. I'm marketing so maybe that changes by industry but I feel this is better for future employment as you you have multiple roles you can go into. As long as you are knowledgeable in said area the interview should bring that out.

Also just for enjoyability, I prefer variety of tasks.
