Is it bad that I’m not bothered about progression? I joined as a Manager a few months ago which was a promoted role for me but I’m now comfortable with my workload and salary (at the moment) and really can’t see myself being fussed about becoming a SM as I don’t want the stress or workload they have. I feel like it’s a bit frowned upon to feel like this but I’m just happy with my work/life balance and don’t want it to change. Anyone else feel like this?

I don’t think that is an issue at all. Great companies rely on a solid core of people in the middle bands where stuff actually gets done. Whilst some may have an “Up or Out” philosophy I would hold to your principles and focus on being the best you can within your role for your own personal development. High and low performers are both high maintenance whereas the productive “core” is much easier to manage and generally do better work as a team.

In terms of tenure you may want to consider a rolling 3yr cycle. First year to learn the role, 2nd year to fully exploit your new skills and grow confidence and the 3rd year to look at correcting some of the “errors” from year 2, to enable you to develop a worthwhile experience built on success and correcting “failures”; as well as considering the next role or level or project etc. Your personal challenge with remaining at job level with no personal review, may be the level of in-band pay rise each year and seeing people less capable than you being promoted since that next level was their focus.

If you can come to terms with those factors then I believe you can have a meaningful career and able to strike a happy medium between work and personal life. Your principles will then guide you on who your current and future employer should be, but remember this sense of being is a snapshot for you and you should always re-evaluate your position and outlook at least once a year since we do change over time.

I’m aiming to become a manager and that’s it. No interest to move forward after that

A lot folk feel like this. The issue is as you get more experienced you get less tolerant of nonsense. Moving up the rants is how you combat that.

I feel you but depending on where you sit, PACE roles may force you to move up or out (risk of IP due to your time at level)

If your constantly supported for promotion as P1 but theres not enough slots / backlog can this affect you?
