Rings very true:

The other story is much more typical, and it goes something like this: I’d love to leave, but there’s something keeping me. One more year and I’ll get a new title, and then I’ll be so well-placed for a new job. I’ve heard the market is bad, so I should wait until it picks up again. I’ll get a raise soon, then I’ll negotiate for a new job. I’m scared of keeping up with mortgage repayments. I just need a year to finish up this project, it’ll look great on my CV. My network is terrible, so I don’t have the same options open to me. I think I can make a difference if I’m given a few more months.

In two years, this second approach has never gone well. Never, ever, ever.

This advice on getting jobs is long but feels right. Although not for Canonical, and I’m definitely not an expert here, more the schmuck who sees himself in the quote above.
