If dissatisfaction arises after several years in a chosen career, how should the next steps be viewed?

Answer

As an opportunity to return to initial steps, informed by a wealth of new, nuanced experience.

Feeling stagnant or dissatisfied should not be viewed as a failure, but rather as a chance to re-enter the assessment cycle with far more nuanced information informed by actual workplace realities to plan the best next step.
