Reminds me of my brother in law when I read what you wrote. He has a house with mortgage, works two jobs. Never made sense to me as he's single in his 40s, and doesn't feel he needs to change his life (doesn't travel, spend etc.). What's the point of accumulating all this wealth, might as well just enjoy it now when young; otherwise, he's just gonna be forced to pass it down to his sister when he retires (which is my wife) LOL. Can't take it with him, plus he's frugal (chances of him blowing all his wealth is slim to none).
I don't think any of us are ever ready in life for everything because there will never be a "right time" for anything. If we all knew the "right timing", we'd all be rich and not need to work. Just have to sit down to reflect, will you regret this in 10-15 years down the road what you didn't do (that's what I'll ask myself). This would tie in with the OP situation, will he have regrets if he stuck this through at his current employer. Once you get even further in older in age, you start to not want to take risky moves as the time to recover is diminished; hence, why young folks YOLO everything when they are young.
