The Next Step Never Came

A Mid-Career Guide to Promotions, Job Changes, and Deciding What Comes Next

Your reviews are fine. Your last promotion was years ago. When a career stops moving, three explanations compete, the market, the company or your own work, and as far as the research behind this book could find, no measurement can tell which one is yours. A guide that shows what has actually been measured about promotions and job changes and marks every piece of advice as tested, observed or untested.
