These posts fascinate me, as I must admit that I never really realized there were so many people focused almost exclusively on promotion.
Is it really that common, or do these posts just bring out those types of comments?
TBH, in this field, it seems like other problems are often more pressing:
- I've been a developer in XX language for NN years. How do I get my next job when the company is now hiring YY developers instead?
- There are lots of Level II jobs for YY, but I'm at level IV. Will eligibility rules even allow this transition?
- There are some Level V positions for YY, but my level IV in XX doesn't really qualify me in a way that would pass a tech screen.
