Growth isn't strictly monetary and needs to be self-driven. I know there's not a snowball's chance in hell I'll ever get promoted at my current company, hell if they offer me a promotion I'll very probably turn them down. I work for a consulting firm, and the last thing I want my role to be is babysitting resources. But I'm sharp, and I focus on getting sharper every single day. I don't have 'pre-' conversations about what could potentially happen, I simply solve the problems the organization has. If the company recognizes it great, if not you'll look around one day a few months after I leave and lament, "man things were so much better when we had Vince around."
