Left my "first" job after 36 years. Didn't like the leadership. Even though I was a partner, I no longer felt like part of the organization.
Sounds like you know its time... and there is no one thing people can tell you... you JUST KNOW.
I had a run over 6 months where new management came in clueless and burned everyone out. When I then got a new boss, I vowed to give it 6 months. 3 months in, I was done and then planned my exit. When it’s time, it’s time.

95% percent of the people watching the video will need to change jobsI have had three professional gigs in 31 years; this last one I just hit 16 years in and will retire from it. Love the current job.
I basically used the Steve Jobs test, which my Dad sent me from his Stanford commencement speech:
"For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? ' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."
BTW, great commencement speech.

I also think some people are configured in such a way that they'll never find most jobs, especially corporate, meaningful.

Even at a large employer where they do "promote" from within, they usually do it in a way so you're not getting paid what they were willing to pay someone from outside to take the position for. It's the only way to get a real raise staying internally, but they know what you're making and you usually don't know what they're willing to pay for different responsibilities.
Organization restructured five years ago. My boss used to have power but now new boss is middle management. He isn't empowered to fix my issues due to lack of resources. He listens, is sympathetic, but has no ability to impact any of my issues.
I like my job and all, but I'd still have to answer no on that. I guess it's a work to live rather than live to work attitude, several personal interests outside of work that I'd much rather be doing on my last day.I have had three professional gigs in 31 years; this last one I just hit 16 years in and will retire from it.

This.
If you are asking, you probably have answered your question. Good luck.
Numbers folks have this fatal flaw all too often. Lots of "ego" in running numbers.....lots of patience in running people.
What a coincidence! I too was in the self checkout line at Fareway on Thursday after a battle royale on the local Pickle Ball Fields. Despite my sweaty, ragged attire I was not the worst dressed customer in the store, since it's located next to IC's lowest income housing, but I digress. After corralling the necessary ingredients to make a batch of " 3 bean dynamite ", I was whizzing through the self check out at warp speed when I got to the last item, a yellow onion. After 3 attempts to price said onion, I had to push the checkout of shame button to hail the Fareway assistant manager. After logging in she backed up the register and pointed out that I had selected the wrong kind of onion and you also needed to press " skip bagging " as well. What do I look like, some kind of IT nerd? Ok, so I'm home free now, insert my Greenstate CC and wait. Wait. Wait. Oh no. Button of checkout shame again. Assistant manager, " you have inserted your card upside down. " What? The writing and microchip is on the top. Naturally that's the way insertion should be done. Nope, go against everything that's natural and turn the card upside down and inside out. Needless to say I was not presented with an employment application...
Silly question but I assume you’re a urologist. Don’t you pretty much “just” see patients? How is management bringing you down?
Like literally on the job, or while he was employed and not retired? If the former, yikes.
Like literally. Arrested in my office. Was revived. Then died.
Holy shit. That would have you taking inventory of your life and priorities…
