What is a sign there is no growth opportunity at your agency and what do you do about it if anything? Are you ok contuining in the position you've already been in for 5 years, doing your job in the same capacity for years to come (different campaigns, same bullshit), knowing not much will change? Or would you leave?

No growth at my current job, have been told I deserve it for the last YEAR from my manager but just no budget. I loved my job and the people, but I couldn’t wait another year to *maybe* be promoted.

Tomorrow is my last day and I start a new job in a couple weeks with a major title bump. And it was reassuring to hear great things about my book from CCOs/similar roles at a handful of different opportunities, to honestly reassure me that it wasn’t me, it was the company I’m working for.

So if you’re unsure, just start putting feelers out and just have conversations. I didn’t rush it, it look me about 6 months to make the jump.

Depends on why you’ve stayed this long... Financial stability, family obligations, sense of “safety” — work’s not questioned or pushed harder? Prioritizing your needs vs nice-to-haves should help find the answer.

If it’s only been due to the fear to jump — kill that sh.. now! :)

Leave for sure - if there’s no room for growth and no way your company is compensating you in other ways to promote your development, get out of there

Starting a new job at Applied Materials on Monday as a Manufacturing Engineer III. I’ve been out of college for 5 years and all of my work experience till now has been in R&D for start ups and small businesses . So not only is this a new experience for me going into such a large company but also a industry (semiconductors). Does anybody has tips or advices on what I should expect as a new hire and how I can set myself up for success? Thanks!

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!

I am interviewing with a company. Last week, one week after the interview, my hiring manager reached out to me with a couple of clarifying questions.

I haven’t heard back since and yesterday I reached out to the recruiter to get some status updates. She has not responded. It’s already Friday. Is it a bad sign or am I overthinking?
