I’ve never been promoted, in 20+ years of working in software. Hadn’t fully realized it until I saw this thread & thought through all the ‘transitions’ I’ve been through. Every time I got more money, more responsibility, AND a different title, it was because I changed companies.https://twitter.com/kf/status/1081791425577021440 …
I’ve seen people get promoted. Usually in the management level. When they jump from non management to management they are usually workaholics thatve devoted their lives to the company. I had to realize I’m not that invested in anywhere I work. Family first for me.
