How much longer to stay in what I feel is a stagnant job

If you're doing a job that pays well, your good at and you know you'll be doing the exact same thing forever there that you've done forever and you've been ready for the next chapter of your career for a long time how long do you stay?

Start talking to management first about moving up. If that doesn’t work you have years of experience in your career just look for the next step up from where you are at another company or job site. Take your time on this and don’t screw yourself over by outright quitting.

@MrAboo I've had that talk with various different managers over the years. Lip service at best, being looked at like a 3 headed monkey jerking itself off using your hand at worst.

@MrAboo oh and I got told this morning the things I'd planned on doing since before I came here they won't let happen anymore

@Justafantasy Then they’re not interested in seeing you move up. You’ll always be at the same company doing the same skill you already have, if you stay. I’d start looking for the next job up in whatever position would let you move up with another company. You might have to prove yourself on the job site for a few weeks or months, but it would be better than not progressing.
