Depends on your level, but if you're analyst/consultant or senior and already feeling like a rockstar - how much growth can you expect? Maybe it's time for something more challenging for you

How to confirm it: when people are asking/begging you to join their projects, When you are asked to mentor/reach junior team members, when people in your network reach out and ask you your opinion or expertise - started happening with me 1.5-2 years in

I'm an experienced associate (1.5 years out). I still feel like I have a lot to learn though. Sometimes it's frustrating working with certain people because they have hierarchy but at the same time, I feel like I get a lot of privilege by being a rockstar - importance given to my project preferences, relatively easy access to partners, relatively greater leniency when it comes to vacation, etc.

Oh... In that case just continue to be a rockstar and take advantage of the reputation you've earned to get what you want (projects, perks, raise, promotion). Also- build a brand. People higher up should be able to say "X is a rockstar generally, and specifically good at Y and Z"

If you feel like a rock star but don't realize you still have a ton to grow, you're an idiot and you're getting in your own way. Ive been a rock star practically my entire career getting the best rating almost every year but I know very well how much I've grown and can grow every year I'm in consulting. So stop looking at yourself as a rock star and thinking you're entitled to something and start thinking about how you need to grow to get to the next level.

This “customer is always right” attitude is becoming a dealbreaker. I understand dogs biting out of fear or pain. However, whenever we get aggressive dogs with no training and no warning from the owner, we’re not allowed to do anything except smile and clean our wounds. The head vet has a 0 tolerance policy for speaking up to owners.
