You have to manage your own career and not rely on others. If recruiters call you listen to them. Build a network, stay in touch with people who leave for a better job. If you want loyalty get a dog.

Well I recommend giving the APPEARANCE of loyalty while also looking out for yourself. I know many people that didnt get the promotion because they came off as not 100 percent into the division. You gotta master the art of appearances.

This. Agreed that loyalty is rarely rewarded and you have to look out for your own opportunities.

Interviewing / networking internally should be done annually at the minimal. You should evaluate your demand across the employment market, not a small ish organization.

Congrats! I am in this position now and am actively looking within my company. I already have two leads that are infinitely better than my current role. Thanks for the extra push to not wait!

Was passed over two times for a promotion despite outstanding year end reviews and more years experience than the people they promoted. Decided it was enough and applied internally for a new position. Landed an associate director role with a different team. My only regret is not doing it sooner. I wasted 1.5 years hoping for a promotion and got immediately denied. I think I got hired so fast for the AD role because of my reputation within that was recognized across the office. Lesson learned - never be loyal to anyone or any team. The moment you think you’re being stiffed or blocked for a promotion start testing the waters elsewhere. The most amazing part about this is that the AD position is even higher than the one I applied to within my soon to be old team.
