Definitely a great post!

I think a lot of people are scared to leave a job like you're describing it:

• well paid
• non toxic environment
• being able to go abroad

It's as they call it a 'golden cage', but on the other hand I think a lot of people are quite unhappy with such a job as they are kind of a slave of their job. I totally agree that if you're truely motivated to keep developing your skills, than you won't regret the choice of jumping in the unknown. (Ofcourse it's always good to have a back-up plan, like money for a new laptop in your case)
