Perhaps you would gain some insight by turning your question on its head: Why haven't you switched companies? What it is about the job market that makes you unwilling to leave your current gig?

I'm with harshalizee. I've got good pay, good benefits, good co-workers, and sane management. Work's a bit boring. But I've been around the block enough times to know that things can get far, far worse, and not much better.

So if you want me to move, you'd better have something spectacular. Not just good - I've already got good.

And if you think that you have something spectacular... are you over-rating or over-selling what you've got? Sure, you think it's spectacular, but am I really going to think so? If not, I'm not interested in your position.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Did you mean to reply to me?
I did, yes. I was noting that I was expressing the same sentiment as someone who was not replying to you, but I figured that the overall thread was small enough that the reference would be fairly plain. I replied to you, though, because I was addressing your question.
My question was for the person who posted the original submission, though.
Sure. But when you make a top-level comment here, other people do feel free to reply...
Your response was irrelevant to my questions, since the goal of my questions was obviously to understand just the OP's mindset, not an unrelated person's mindset.
