I've been feeling like there's no way to grow in the career I've chosen. Grow to a level where I feel like I can finally settle in and feel like I've made it. I guess this is me feeling like I've hit a growth ceiling, and it's disheartening.. What ideas do you have to share about ways to continue developing without leaving the company?

If there’s no room to grow at your current company, you need to jump ship. You will grow your salary way faster by job hopping than staying put. That being said, the job market is horrible right now so don’t leave until you have a solid job lined up. Companies are laying employees off left and right, so staying at a stable company is a good choice right now, even if you’re stagnant for a while. Look for opportunities to grow your skills horizontally in the short term. Ask to take on new responsibilities or projects to boost your resume.

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
