There is a good chance that you're more qualified than all your interviewers except the 3rd one, who looks like a tenured "staff" engineer or manager. This is the reason you don't leave your job before you've landed a better one.

I don't agree with this. I actually don't regret any second having left my job before having a new one and would do it again in a heartbeat.

After so many years at the same company I needed a radical change to change careers and had been meaning to find another job for a while but just never had the energy to do so and was just becoming complacent.

In that case you just slack off hard and do interviewing almost full time.
