- use regular one-on-ones to talk about growth, not just performance, and push for that conversation every other week at worst
- treat fear of changing jobs as useful information rather than something to ignore, it usually means something needs attention
- read widely outside your day to day work so you notice what skills and tech are moving on without you
- tie your growth ask to a realistic timeline like a year or two instead of expecting a big jump in six months
- get involved in local tech communities and slack groups to see where you stand and get honest feedback on gaps
