I’ve been told for three years that I’m on the shortlist for a move to the front office, and I just watched them hire a fresh undergrad for the role instead. My MD says he needs me where I am. Is it time to stop being the reliable guy and start being the guy who leaves for a competitor?

Yeah, it sounds like they want to keep you where you are for their own selfish reasons. If they don't give you the growth you need and deserve, time to refresh the resume.

Honestly, three years of being “next in line” is a long time. If they keep saying they need you where you are, that may be your answer. I’d start exploring externally. Loyalty is great, but it should not come at the cost of your growth.

It depends… are you willing to trade the leniency, that I’m sure your boss gives you, for being the new person at the new firm in a role that they believe they deserve has?

I’ve been on the other end of that coin, and I’ll tell you, you become the workhorse that all the s*it gets dumped on… so the question becomes, are you comfortable? If so, stay… if not leave…

But that’s been my experience…

Yeah, I will say it’s your time to dust your resume and move on, your intellect is not worth to be stocked in a position where you’ll not experience growth for years.

Also, after three years of being told the same thing, chances are it's not going to happen any time soon. If it's a role you are wanting, I would have started looking last year!

Definitely time to move on. Either that or stop putting in extra effort and just put in the bare minimum required.

If you want to move up to a different role, and if it looks like you won't be getting it where you are now, then start looking elsewhere.

Not sure why this is even a question. Absolutely.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
