Bored - lateral change?
Post Body

I am in a job/career that pays well but I am so bored all of the time. I don't feel like I am learning anything new other than soft skills and how to manage sometimes annoying personalities. I have about 10 years of experience.

I have an opportunity to take a similar job in the same industry, for slightly more pay (probably 10% bump to go). I would be sacrificing a lot of 'trust' and reputational capital I've acquired over the years, possibly for little change in circumstances. On the other hand, much like investing in a diversified portfolio, maybe trying something 'slightly' different is the key to unlocking new potential.

What do you think? Would you take a semi-lateral change in jobs just to try a different company? Or is this too big a risk given high salary and reputation?

Some additional facts if helpful:

Salary well over 100k with generous bonus and RRSP match.
Statistician in consulting, within an overall company that doesn't really value statisticians outside of my business unit.
