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 …
Once a supervisor told me that something good may happen to me. He was out after 3 months and I was asked to get higher position (by his recommendation). I didn't take the chance ;)
