Sounds like you are happy and still learning. Don’t fall into the trap of the rat race. Certainly don’t let other insecure folks question your sanity.
Does this person know you or your long term goals? I find that people who make broad statements like that have a lot of maturing/growing up to do. I personally wouldn’t agree with that statement for everyone. I think focusing on your WLB and supporting your team will give you many other benefits that may not necessarily be as obvious/quantifiable as a promo but are just as important.

That person gave you bad advice. There's nothing wrong with knowing you aren't ready - it sounds like you are setting yourself up for success, which is something a lot of people struggle to do. Keep doing what you're doing.

Congrats! Don’t be anxious, continue to be happy! Most people are miserable so they will project their personal experience on to you. Enjoy it and don’t let anyone bring you down.
If you are in a good place *stay there and grow*. Using this as a foundation to focus on really growing depth of skill and knowledge will set you up for success at promo when the time is right.
Rushing up the ladder makes you very good at climbing and very bad at the actual job, which in turn makes you and your team stressed 24/7.
