What are the driving forces of changing your current job?

Hi all.

I am struggling to change my current job as I cannot see a clear career path in my current role. However my current job is very stable and easy. Sometimes I think changing means a challenging task to step out your conform zone to take an uncertain risk. I might regret and insecure if the new job is not better than the previous one. 

What are the driving forces of changing your current job? Can you give me some advice? 

Is podcast really helpful in English learning? I am wondering if podcast really could improve our English.
As there is no subtitle or script availble,   sometime I dont understand or dont know the new vocabulary. I dont literally learn new words. 
BUT I do think it can help us to 'submerge' in English environment.

Feel free to discuss your idea about learning by different ways. 

used to I understand that 'used to' is an adjective to describe something as a habit/ something you are familiar with. eg. I am used to swimming. It means I know how to swim. However, I have learnt a sentence recently. Did you use to get up early? is it of the same meaning if I write it as 'did you get up early previously ?' is there any other form of 'used to'? Thanks!

idiom: so to speak I have read a sentence as follow. "Be assured that this is not a case of these being one law for the rich and another for the poor, so to speak. " Plz explain the usage of "so the speak" and give example, and is it a formal idiom to use ? Thanks!!

It is very much a buyer's market, but there are too few buyers around. I have come across a sentence , but I dont know the grammar used. It is very much a buyer's market, but there are too few buyers around. Is (very much) an adjective here to describe lot of participants in the buyer' market? Thank you!
