I've been having on and off conversations with my manager and her manager about career aspirations. I'm at a terminal level, so I can hang out where I'm at as long as I want. What I didn't tell my managers is the promotion game sounds like a lot of work for 6 months to a year for a possibility that I'll get a job with more work I like less and somewhat more pay. You also start running into the issue where big companies only need so many super senior engineers, so you can't play that game forever. You're also playing it against people who will play it forever because the title means something to them.
