joblife
Explanation:
Hello,

This is my understanding.

He wants to change his joblife ("job world"). That could several things: a new job, hours worked, reduce stress levels at the workplace, relationships with coworkers, etc...

I hope this helps.

yes, time to change jobs if he's not fulfilling his potential in his current post. Based on further context, my confidence is growing ;-)

agree  NancyLynn
6 mins
  -> Thank you.
neutral  writeaway: don't see broaden in the French and new job was already suggested by Moira long before you posted
12 mins
  -> a rather pointless comment - did you see monde/world in any of the translations? Moira did not suggest the same phrase in case you're trying to make an issue out of it, rather weak
