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 …
That's sad. It really display how people are ready to bet on outsiders, someone who they have never worked with, but hesitant of giving an opportunity to someone they have worked with so long. I guess this is largely a global trend.
