Applying the multi-armed bandit to your career

I always suppressed these feelings of boredom early in my career, until about 3-4 years in at a company when it became unbearable and I just had to switch.

Now I work for a consultancy which seems to provide the best of both worlds for me — a stable yet fresh network of competent people, and a variety of projects that I can seek out, rather than working on the same thing endlessly. I was a bit scared that I would hate the consulting world, but I think I landed at a pretty good one. And I know working for a consultancy might be very bad in an economic downturn, but I’ve also built up a huge network of colleagues, so I feel like I could fall back on that and my talent if I ever needed to.
