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! :)

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
