> Is (10 * a few days) to change jobs is an unreasonable burden? I subscribe to the rule of thumb that you should spend 10% of your time making the other 90% better. That would suggest spending 25 days / year on career advancement or looking for better jobs.

With those assumptions, at (10 × a few days), a job hunt eats at least one and probably several years of combined "career advancement and job hunting" time.

That would seem to make it, yes, an unreasonable burden.
