I have about 6 years of work experience but I’ve never been promoted. I have job hopped a few times, with each hop going in a positive direction. However I’m currently in a role with no growth in sight and I really want to avoid another job hop for my resume sake. Not sure what to do.

I promise my experience isn't a repeatable path. Its unique. Ive been super intentional, stuck to an industry and function. Im in financial services and strategy. And ive turned down opportunities to stick to that path.

Ive also lost my job twice. So two of those times were not voluntary moves. There is luck involved.

I got sign on bonus and severance in the same month once.

Ive also focused on this path like it was life or death to the point that I developed an anxiety disorder.

I would start looking for something else. If there is no growth where you are, it is definitely time to find new opportunities. Just be prepared to be looking for quite some time as the job market is rough.

If there is no growth in sight, and you want growth, then job hopping is the only real option for you.
