Getting promoted internally died in the 90s. These days, you change companies every 2-3 years and move up the corporate ladder that way.

I don't remember exact numbers but you make way more doing that than sticking with one company. Companies typically hire externally rather than promote anyway.

Nepotism is another path, but that one is up to luck more than anything.

yep. Everyone says you should keep up your network and move around every few years.

I did the exact opposite; I found a small chill place that paid well and stayed there for 24 years.

Now, I'm in negotiations to buy the whole outfit.

Definitely the exception here. I guess sticking with a small company could pay off a lot better, as the people around you are still human and see you as a human.

Suits don't have souls, though. Big corporations will use you up and pay you as little as possible before discarding you.
