When I was working in academia, I had an advisor who used to tell me: "just do good work and you will find a TT position". Never found one, despite the objectively good work I published. Not even an interview. Tremendously bad advice that came from a place of laziness.
As a manager, I like it when my reports ask for reasonable promotions or greater work responsibilities: it shows confidence, self-reflection, pro-activeness. All traits I value quite a bit.
