Been in my current role for 5 years and feel like I've maxed out what I can learn and achieve here. Anyone else felt this way? How did you push for a promotion or make a lateral move to a different department?

I get what you're going through, I always try to move around a bit so that I can feel fulfilled in what I'm doing and learn as much as possible. I'd try to talk with your manager about your career goals and ask what they would need to see for you to get a promotion, I'm sure they'd be willing to give you some feedback.

I think that 5 years is probably the point when most people start to feel a little bored in a role or ready to move onto something else. Are you looking to move on past your current company or just looking to get a promotion? A lot of people say that moving companies every 4-7 years is the best way to keep your salary competitive and to grow in your career

A quick way to not get promoted is by deciding that it is your turn. Attitudes like that and boredom tend to seep out.

Perhaps you could look around the job you have and find more to do with it. Get better at it, do something creative, help mentor others, streamline a process. The reality is there is NEVER a limit on learning and achieving.

And your new-found interests and accomplishments will likely be noticed.

After working 5+ years and letting life happen, I ended up back with a staff title (no career/group change). Everyone said I was doing well throughout my career. But most of peers are now managers, senior managers, directors, controllers, etc. I really don’t want to compare, but how do I deal with this so it doesn’t bother me? Has anyone else been in this situation? I feel partly ashamed because all of the work I put in didn’t get me very far in my career.
