There’s been many shifts in my department with the person that got promoted to the position opened up to a manager after 17 years in the same role.
Position opened up for a senior level but instead of moving me to it, they are looking to hire an outside person.
I have already been doing 90% of duties of that senior role but clearly something else triggered them to hire outsider.
I had 2 offers in the past 3 months with nearly double the pay closer to $250k with bonuses which my company doesn’t have, but I just loved my team and what I do (other companies would be similar roles) and decided to stay. Now really looking back and any forward offers – thinking I will strongly consider it now as clearly my value is not that important.
