Good point.

Do you know a 20-25% turnover rate is TYPICAL for a tech company? We are at the low end of that, but after 3 years and 2 months, I am more senior than all but 3 of our C-suite residents, and more than half of the other employees in this 400-person company. It's ridiculous.

I'm actually going to be petitioning them to close down my job, and move away from the government contracting business. It's not in line with where the company is heading, and I could be a wicked-ass Key Account Manager, or Product Launch Manager. Both of which they need more than a government proposal writer, and both of which actually have a career path.

Q2 is ending right now, so I'll be meeting with my leadership next month to make plans, and put together the annual plan for next year. That'll be my opportunity to pitch a job change or move.
