Ive been working at my company for 5 years. The previous senior person in the roll got that promotion after working their for 2 years, so when he left and the senior role became available everyone in the department was expecting me to get it....... then they give the role to the guy who started 3 months ago.
So since then ive just stopped trying. Im not going to get another chance to be promoted until that fucker leaves, so now im working like the minimum effort junior that they treat me like. Going to coast like that for a while until i get a couple more qualifications, then go somewhere better as a senior.
Start sending out applications now, you may already be qualified, and getting a job offer in the back pocket is never a bad idea.
I am probably under qualified for thr job i want and while I may get a job still, i don't think I want to be working at a company that's going to hire under qualified people for senior roles.
Plus even just going through and updating my CV and writing cover letters is a lot of mental effort and time that I would rather just spend on studying for my certs.
