Anyone who’s made a lateral move between two companies - why did you do it and was it worth it?

Guess I'm just sharing and hoping to hear your thoughts. I overheard two friends on a subway ride back home absolutely hating on their 'female boss' and saying 'they are never again working for a female boss'. Although I am so distant from their story, it really hurt. Have you been privy to such conversations?

I feel like I'm constantly running away from trying for kids by convincing myself I'll be ready after X or Y achievement, but the goals keep getting bigger - this game of procrastination started when I was 27 and I'm 34 now. My biggest fear is losing all the time I know I need to keep growing in my career. I want kids but do I just not have what it takes to actually conceive and raise them?
