Exactly this was my problem + staying with same company for 12 years. Better late than never, just made a switch 2 months back.

Fear of making mistakes early in career. Make mistakes and learn from it. If you are not making mistakes, you are not doing anything new!

4 YOE in Federal consulting. Currently a C at $85K and just received a 5/5 performance review with super positive feedback from my team and leadership. Noted that I was the top performer and was doing stuff at a senior level.

How realistic would it be to break $100K+ in jumping elsewhere? Either at C/SC level. Might be a silly question but I want see others perspective. TIA!
