Continue to keep a look out for opportunities even when you’re in your new role, and don’t make the same mistake of spending too much time in the same organisation.
Spending much time in an organisation is not necessarily a bad thing. It's more of pay and progression stagnating that's bad. In a competitive environment where talent is paid what it's worth, it could be good to stay. Going by OP's 4.1k salary after 5 years and 23 days of annual leave, I'm guessing he's in OCBC, which is a local bank and generally speaking not a place you want to stay at for more than a few years. Pay and progression cannot match foreign banks.
