Have you ever been told you're "too valuable" to move into a different role?sounds like a compliment, but sometimes it feels like being good at your job can actually limit career growth. Have you experienced this, and how did you handle it?

Surely being that valuable means you got a raise to stay where you are, right?

If not, ASK WHY NOT!

Not tech related but at my side job working security guard, I know a dude who works overnight weekdays who went to school for psychology. This is an independent living facility and he applied for an internal role for grief counselor. His manager did not recommend him because where we live, they’ve struggled to find good candidates for overnight security guards. Poor guy was content with his life still even though the manager screwed him over for his gain

That is crazy

Well I can see the thinking behind it, but it’s not a smart move from their side. If you have had enough of your current position, and you are passionate for doing something else, in order to keep you onboard they must consider your request very seriously.
Unless they want to stay with an unmotivated employee or they “want” to push you out.
Leaving an employee in a position that doesn’t fit their needs and wants is a wrong decision in most cases.

I've had this, my team leader wouldn't let me have a temporary role in another team because I am too good to lose. They let another team member go who is known for being particularly difficult.

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally. They have limited quota every year, and are very choosy when it comes to allocation. Preference is first given to EU nationals and then Asians during shortlist stage.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

How do you keep up/in touch with your network? Mine barely post anything on LinkedIn, so commenting on their posts is out of the question, and apparently it's impolite to just message or email them if the job searcher doesn't have anything to share besides asking for a referral or opening. If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?
