Author here. I do agree to an extent. But getting datpoints from the other people in the company at those higher positions is important. Asking what can you do to improve and what you can do to make better impact. For my situation, many people did agree that they agreed that I should be up leveled. Some people did say I could work on different projects but they have seen people get up leveled for way less. Some of it is luck as well.

It's also a horrible swe job market out there. Haha

But the biggest is to never feel like it's a disfavor. You are worth it and there is always room to grow, I just didn't know how else to grow at the company anymore

Don’t listen to defeatist BS. If a candidate needs to grow, the response should be to give them small projects to lead and grow. A few university classes in missing subjects, coaching, etc. Not keep them in purgatory.

A growth mindset instead a fixed one, basically.
