During my interview, I was told about all the opportunities for advancement. Two years in, I'm still doing the same stuff despite great reviews. Do I give it more time, or is it a sign to cut my losses?

Schedule a career planning meeting with your direct supervisor.

In the meeting,
1) get the written responsibility/requirements for the next level position,
2) create a list and, together with your supervisor, start checking off what skills/responsibilities you already have or are doing,
3) make a plan to acquire the skills you don’t have and opportunities to get involved with responsibilities that you are missing.
4) start a monthly accountability/progress meeting.
5) discussing a timeline.

If your supervisor refuses to do this or give you any excuses, then it’s time to move on.
