30F - Really confused on career and road ahead!
Hello , I have a dilemma going on in my mind since a long time now. I am currently working in a company with pretty chill WLB ( Hybrid 2 days, actual working hours < 6 hours on average) which is kind of important because I have a toddler.
I have total 9.5 years of work ex in backend development out of which I have given 6 year to current company.
Since I am old into the system, I know most of the things and can easily carry out tasks assigned to me. I am moderately paid( I know I can get a good package if I switch but I am earning fair amount)
The dilemma is I am in this comfort zone, and I definitely know I am hurting my career by staying in this company. My brain knows I should switch but reading about layoffs, AI , reorganisations my heart sinks a little. I am worried that If I switch I will not be able to cope up and eventually be fired. I just read the posts about market being brutal and it scares me more. But the more I stay here I realise more difficult it is going for me. Help me decide what should I do?
