I love what I do for work and find it very fufilling emotionally, but I think I've reached the top of my salary range and I'm not comfortable staying at this level for the next 30 or so years. I'm worried that if I try to get a higher paying job I'll end up hating it, but I know I'm stalling out where I am. What should I do?

Look at new jobs not for salary bump but for learning new things and broadening your skills. Need to balance this with job security because it’s a tough out there right now. I had a couple cushy jobs in the past and people thought I was crazy when I quit. Glad I made the right move. Good luck.
