I moved to the industry recently (Director at Pharma) and everyone’s been advising me to think early about moving up the ladder and where I want to move within the organization. Do I have the option to just remain in my role long term? Will it be perceived negatively? I enjoy my role and am happy with comp, don’t see the need to angle for a promotion unless an obvious opportunity arises.

You absolutely do. I would just build out a roadmap and have that ready when the time comes. Have goals and whatnot but yeah there’s people in industry that stay in the role for decades because it just checks all their boxes (my manager at VMware)
