Is now the time I talk to my boss that I'm looking elsewhere to get what I want?

I would wait until you have an actual offer

I expect that to be next Friday if I'm getting one.

These were applications I did cuz I was bored and didn't know what else to do. What's between overwhelmed and normal whelmed, cuz that's kinda where I'm at.

Also also, sorry @fishguy242 stl gave me a firm no yesterday. We won't be neighbors this round.

I have also been dipping my toe on the job market. I am 13 yrs away from retirement. Been with my company for 21. I am getting paid a stupid amount of money to do monkey work. And I'm looking at jobs that are more work more stress and less money. Because I am bored. what the heck is wrong with me?

"We pay a competitive salary". Sure, maybe, but in a depressed market. Thanks to the hubris of Johns Hopkins.

Theoretically I'd owe roughly $10k back for an unfilled work contract on my tuition reimbursement...

The curse of idle hands.

I got a guy that came into my office at the end of the day for the same reason. I told him I'd support him either way.
