I was messing around on LinkedIn and I noticed that someone I hired into a senior position two jobs ago is still a senior engineer 14 years later.

I've had the discussion with various people reporting to me over time that they were perfectly happy right where they were and had no desire to progress.

Go with what makes you happy and try to find a place that lets you be.

Hell, sometimes I wish that I'd never been promoted.
