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 never got promoted in the 7.5 years at my last job. I should've been more persistent but promotion wouldn't have changed my day-to-day. What I really wanted was to change roles.
