You have to ask yourself like a really hard question, which is, is this truly where I want to be? Meaning, are you in the right place, but have the wrong role or set of responsibilities? And if the answer is yes, like I love the idea and prospect of this career/organization that I'm at, I'm just not where I wanna be career-wise, or I'm not where I wanna be in a certain position that I'd actually like to eventually have.

And if that's the question, like have you asked for that? Have you given yourself enough time? Have you had those honest, really transparent conversations with whoever your boss is and said, hey, this is where I'm looking to be. What do you think my prospect is here over the long-term?

What can I do to achieve or hit certain milestones that would make me eligible for this increase in role or responsibility here inside of this organization?
