I am seeing fewer internal growth opportunities than I expected and more external movement around me. It is making me rethink my long term plan at this company. How do you evaluate when it is time to look elsewhere.

I evaluate it based on companies that tend to say their are so many growth opportunities internally but you get there and nothing.

This is what I have been seeing as well. It seems like if you want to grow and be promoted you have to jump ship. I have been looking around for a bit but haven't been able to find anything.

It really appears that the days when employees remain with a company for a long time have come and gone, especially given the lack of retirement plans or even hiring from within. I think the day where you feel that your skills are either underappreciated or even stagnated might be a good indication. If anything, I would always keep your ears and eyes open for other potential opportunities.

I am considering investing in an early stage startup. I know the founders for many years and are more like family to me. I will be investing $100K with a convertible note. What should be the equity that I should be drawing out? I don’t want to draw just the fair amount so the company is not at a disadvantage when they eventually raise money outside of F&F. They are valued at $5M by a startup accelerator and received $50K as part of being admitted into the program. Contd.

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?
