What’s the longest you’re willing to stay in your role without growth?

Been in my position for about two years and sort of got screwed out of an opportunity (who knew it’s very political at the top? 🙄)

Depends on where you are at. I currently make about $130k working about 20 hours a week, got a 6% raise last year and full autonomy across the board

Work for a large HoCo in a smaller Midwest market.

No current growth, but I will chill for a while until the right opportunity arises.

It’s not always greener on the other side, and there is no guarantee of growth anywhere you go.

You work part time and make $130k??

Well, I’ve been in my current position for over 4 years and it has been too long, although I’ve received some significant merit and other increases.

2 years maybe 3 if you got a decent raise in between. And I’ve been in the industry for 20 years, mostly at hold cos and I was at Omnicom, so I know.

Regardless of all the tech layoffs and layoffs in general, there are still roles out there. Agencies win and lose business all the time and there are still plenty of opportunities at ad techs, platforms and social platforms, they like big agency people bc you essentially have “insider” info.

The adage has not changed, quickest and easiest way to get promoted/raises is to leave.

Don’t be worry about how it looks on your resume, there are plenty of successful people out there with resumes that have several positions of 2 years and sometimes even less.

Appreciate the perspective! Very helpful

Been in my role for like 2 years without raise since my initial promotion, at this point I feel like I need to make the next step or I'll never be fairly compensated

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film.

Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
