Every place I have ever worked has been "up or out". Maybe 20 years ago that kind of job existed, but it does not now.
- theamk 1y agoSuch jobs certainly exist today, I know plenty of people who don't feel any pressure to get promoted, and people certainly won't get fired for lack of ambition or for being 2x slow than average engineer on their team. I am in embedded/robotics though, other industries may be different.
