Employees should pick a path that makes them happy no matter where they work.
If given grunt work then build an automated tool instead.
Ask your manager to let you work on something super interesting that is related to the company's core business for at least 20% of your time.
Identify your most talented coworkers and make them apart of your social network long term. Usually they end as a VP/CTO/CEO and it is much easier to follow them than to get to the top on your own.
Flat out just ask the VP of whatever group you like lead one day to mentor you.
Keep track of how your company/group might fail and when you're sure it is too late to save it, change to another position that is trending better.
Don't bail until you've gotten everything you can from your current company.
Do your job so you can describe it in your next interview as an example of why they should hire you.
- wetpaws 9y agoCompany is not your mom, it's a agent of a trade on a job market. If it can demand something from you, then you can do the same. In fact, not only is your job to provide company with a product of your labor, but it also is a job of the management to provide you what you want and need (interesting tasks, a path for long-term development). Let me repeat again, it's not a privilege to ask for this, they HAVE to do this.
