You'll find you don't plan for retirement from this industry. You'll age out and will be laid off and then find no one will hire you. That's how you become a retiree in our business. No party, no gold watch, no pension.

Plan for it now because our industry puts you into retirement. You don't choose when to retire. I got "laid off" at 60. My financial advisor told me I had plenty of money to retire so I started living my best life ever that same day.

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

Should I decline to pursue the opportunity just so I have a longer track record at my current firm? This will be my 4th if I move.
