What's the time limit a person should put at their current position before getting a promotion or going to another agency? I think 2 years but is that too short?👎👍💣💥🎓

If you think time is a valid criterion for promotion, you should reassess.

@creative technologist 1 time seems to be a pretty valid criterion for whether you're making a difference or being recognized for your contribution. if you spend too much time at the same position then it seems fair to consider moving to another opportunity otherwise you seem complacent. The question to me seems to be what is that time frame between being a team player and being complacent.

If you assume a baseline of quality work that exceeds expectations, yes. If you feel deserving of a promotion for average performance, no, no matter how much time served.

Oh, and if you really are that bright, rising star, you shouldn't worry about your title so much. You'll be recognized.

You don't accept doing average work. Ever. In any situation. There is potential in every account you are on. If you're surrounded by average, it shouldn't be hard to appear exceptional. Step up and lead. If you're average, changing workplaces might give you the opportunity to learn from good or even great people. In either case looking inward is likely where your answer is.

If you want to keep making more money then yeah, move after 2 years if you haven't gotten a significant raise/promotion. The company is looking out for its best interests, why shouldn't you.

^so how long do you accept doing average work before moving to a team where you can do excellent work?

1-2 years is legit if you have a solid alibi for leaving the old place
