I’ve been in this role for 3 years and can basically run everything without thinking now, but there’s no clear promotion path unless I go back to school. I like the work, just don’t see how it turns into anything more. Has anyone stayed in this type of role and still managed to move up?

I haven't. A lack of clear upward mobility is a good sign to leave. Don't ignore it.

A sideways move never seems all that attractive, but perhaps it’s one you might consider. Keep at the same level but move from the top of one ladder to the bottom of the next. A good employer will support you on your ascent up the new ladder, including additional training as necessary. Maybe they’ll even support you with “back to school” on a paid part-time basis? Just be prepared to accept the additional effort involved in learning whilst working. It certainly worked for me, and opened a whole new vista of opportunities for advancement.

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!

I am fairly green in academia (< 1 year) and I want to shift to an area of research which I always wanted to do but never could as a Ph.D. student (because of conflict of interest).
The issue I am facing is that due to lack of my documented research experience in this field (read, lack of papers) I am finding it very hard to land any grant and reviewers keep saying "The PI hasn't demonstrated any experience in said research" blah blah.
Any advice on how to overcome this?

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
