Probably screwing myself over... but with over 5 years of experience I plan on leaving this agency for the same title somewhere else.... thoughts on someone who has stayed the same position this long?

I did. Get out, get more experience and share what you already know with others. It is not a bad thing to stay somewhere and it is ok to leave. You sound like your mind is made up so all you have to do is find what and where you want to go and then go after it. We all are on different career paths so don’t compare yourself with others too much. Good luck!

Nothing wrong with a lateral move if you’re going somewhere that you will grow at and enjoy the work. Maybe you still get a bump or other aspects make the opportunity desirable

I did for 6 years. - I was young for a director and needed time to hone my skills. I was also happy - nothing was forcing me out but lack of growth so I was picky for the next opportunity. Took me 2 years to find the right VP position.

Be patient.
