"Their interest in me was clear."
Exactly this.
Enlightened and effective leadership would pair a "not this time" response with a series of career development meetings, resulting in a tailored path for advancement; not as detailed as "this job, then that job, then that," but informed enough to show the candidate that they were heard and valued.
An additional bone in the form of a small raise and or training would also be effective.
And of course the plan needs to be reviewed periodically and sincerely, for adjustments and progress on the part of both parties.
- aejnsn 5y agoThanks! I really wish they would have put me through training. If I recall correctly they did do a special mid-year for me. That was because of the VP, who knew I was frustrated about the position and HR. That same VP got tired of the rest of the company’s crap, he threw in the towel, and that started the reorganization/leadership vacuum. I am glad I had a couple other options. The company lost a couple dozen good technologists in the span of the following year just because of their horrible organizational management.
