Thank you, this was good advice and I need to think on this.
I am not happy.
Where I would like to be in 3-5 is more difficult than I thought, as I think it becomes a question of value and purpose. It is likely I want to explore options 4, 3, 1, or 5 in order of preference. I don't mind continuing to do what I do now as I enjoy it and am highly competent, but only in a private / commercial setting or as you say consulting and moving on.
It is true that defining the next level is difficult but I think I can define it but I can't put it down here as, using my real name as I have, but it would be finding value and purpose using my skills set to one entity (this committing to their mission and vision) or many (through an option 3 or 4) that is explicitly private sector startup, scaling or mature orgs.
Thank you for those notes above they've given me some chance to reflect.
edit: I corrected my options choices, I had included 2 but meant 3. and I removed a "not".
