I once stayed in a role longer than I should have because it felt safe. Growth often starts with discomfort. How do you know when it’s time to move on?

I’m in that same situation now… I’ve considered moving into a managers role. That might be my only option without leaving the company.

It sounds like a natural next step, but ask yourself if management is what excites you or just the easiest way to change. Growth often comes from stretching in a direction that challenges you, not just the next title.
