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 …
Only 1 or maybe 2 came without me directly asking for what gaps I need to personally fill to be performing at the next level. I'm not sure how much I could attribute to privilege, luck, right manager/place/time but I suspect non-zero percentages.

That being said, usually I'm looking to improve mostly and the shortest time I've stayed at a company is 2.5 years (just for data points)
