I’m a former startup exec and currently a principal engineer. The easiest way to get to where I am is by moving around every 2-3 years, at least within the company (if the company is large enough), but preferably across companies. The best time to move is immediately after a promo. Do not let people treat you like a piece of furniture that’s not going anywhere
