Colleagues leaving for decent roles, feels like Im behind

Ive been with my firm for a bit less than 5 years. (Not US btw) Have been a top performer but now having second thoughts bout my career

Had several colleagues at my rank/YoE leaving for coveted roles in industry (corp strat, high growth startup, MBB lateral) this yr and I wonder if I am lagging behind. I am not actively job hunting as my current job is pretty chill but growth has been stagnant. And no interest in a partner role here

Then make a move, what are you waiting for? You don’t need anyone’s approval to make career progress especially because you don’t see yourself staying till partner. Good luck!

Hello! Looking for some guidance. I will soon be leaving Verizon after 15 years with them (6 years HR experience, 3 years Operations, 6 years leadership).

But the likes of Google, Adobe, etc. also seem appealing. Would you recommend a start up as my next endeavor? I enjoy helping build processes and policies.
