Is anyone else worried they peaked too early in their career? I had a big title at a fast-growing startup in my mid-20s, and it felt like I was on a rocket ship. But after a reorg, I moved to a more stable (but less impressive) company, and I’m scared it looks like I lost momentum. Will schools see that context, or just assume I’m trending downward?

I don't know why but my luck is not favouring me😔.
I'm trying very hard to switch but even after applying at numerous places - either getting rejected at HM round or not getting call at all.

Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising?

So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.

When pushing for a tier promotion (level 2 to level 3), is there a best way to also say what I want to be paid? Or do I just accept the pay increase that the promotion brings and wait until an annual review to negotiate a new salary? The requirements for the level 3 include 4 YoE, with 6 YoE preferred. I’ll have 5 when I push for the promotion, so I’d want more than the base level of pay in the range.
