I just had a debrief with my boss where they basically told me I’m too good at my job and they never want me to leave. While it was a compliment, it also felt like they were saying there’s no room for me to move up into a Manager or Chief of Staff role. How do you push for a promotion in this situation?

It sounds like your manager was basically telling you not to hold your breath for a promotion. At least not for the foreseeable future. If you want your career to progress, it might be time to be looking for other employment options.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment.

Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
