What to do if your timing is off at company?
Doing well at my company, great reviews, great relationships. I like the company and my boss but I am not growing in my role. Interviewed internally for a couple things but fit wasn’t there. Now I’m out of synch for many of the roles that would make sense (people stay in roles 18-30 months generally) is it worth it to stay on the off chance someone leaves the company and a spot opens up (and I interview and get it) or start looking externally?

Have you spoken to your boss or even your boss’s boss about how you feel? As a manager myself, I can attest that if a team member is performing well, I wouldn’t want to lose that person without a proper chance to make things right. I would also work extra hard to find opportunities to help the person grow so they feel valued. But sometimes it’s hard to know someone feels this way without having the direct conversation. Hope this helps.

Sounds to me like you dodged a bullet in what probably would have been a bad next move. If your boss and you have mutually understood that your growth is capped where you are, definitely start looking internally and externally — good luck hustling! You might hit a few dead ends along the way, but something will eventually work out.

Since you feel you're not growing, I would say start looking externally. Remember, job hunting is a long process. Often takes 3-6 months for many people, so you have time. If, during that time, a position at your company opens up, go for it. Otherwise, in the same time frame, another much better opportunity may be waiting for you, just externally.

I've got 4 years at a staffing agency after getting Masters in HRM and making a complete career change in 2018. Doing full cycle recruiting and account management. I feel I'm doing very well (in the role and with comp $57 base + commission = ~$91k last year) BUT I feel stuck!! I'm feeling undervalued and unchallenged. I think I'd love corporate recruiting/TA Specialist, etc. How do I make the jump? Should I just keep truckin??
