Donna,
There has been some good feedback so far but one thing to always bear in
mind is that we are employed for one purpose only - to make money for our
employers.
What I would recommend is look at ways to add *business value* with your
skills. I don't know much about what your employer does bu

That's actually how DtDNS (www.dtdns.com) got started six years ago. I
started tinkering, and a DNS service popped out. Turned into a nice little
side business that pretty much runs itself.

It's decades since anyone asked me why I left, or why I was leaving.
In my earlier life as a middle manager, I did a lot of hiring and I
found it was not productive at all to ask why someone left their last
job.Either they'd flat-out lie or I'd be subjected to half an hour
of whining about ho

Yes, although I think you get "ethics points" for leaving, then

simply trying to push your salary
Yeah, start experimenting with RIAs.

I wonder if they are not creating any new work because they fear it'll cost

I would find time to build something that interests you. Don't ask before
doing, just build it. Then perhaps one day when they do come to you for
something new, you will have either a. already built it, or b. have built
something so similar that you can whip something up and knock their socks
off
Which will turn the question into 'why are you leaving'?

In today's job market, I'd recommend following Sean's advice with one caveat
-- find another job before you leave. Otherwise you will have a gap in your
resume that will raise questions about why you left.

I was effectively not allowed to work last year because I was waiting
for the US government visa approval process which seems to move on a
geological timescale.

Build a demo of something, then show the powers that be the demo and they'll
want it, want it now, and want to know why they just can't use the demo!
That's pretty much how our entire intranet came into being.
