Are you me?

I've been with my org for 10+ years. Never had a promotion, people younger than me have shot up the org who joined after I did.

The thing is I prioritize health and wellbeing over any job I've had. However I've been told I'm super reliable, well liked and hard working... Although like you I'm the quiet one at the back of the room.

I recently failed an interview for a promotion, this would have been for a senior engineer. Feedback was I failed to convince the panel I had what it takes to lead a team (despite doing this everyday anyway in the org). Makes it hard to stay motivated TBH. Back to lifting weights I guess!
