“I can’t get promoted to senior because my manager isn’t assigning me promotion-worthy projects.”
Lack of scope for senior and beyond is BS.
There are always promotion-worthy projects to do.
Your manager just doesn't know about them.
For senior levels and above, it's on you to find scope.
Solving impactful problems nobody asked you to solve is part of operating at the next level.
The reality of any large organization is that there are more problems than people.
If you can't find one, you aren't looking hard enough. Open your eyes.
The people who advance don't wait for their manager to hand them the perfect project. They identify gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities that others miss to make a big impact.
Your job is to scope impactful problems and solutions to your manager that they didn’t know about.
Your job is to find problems worth solving.
You need to show your boss that you’re capable of doing next level work by doing next level work.
Your manager can't promote you to a level you haven't already proven you can operate at.
