I'm currently working on a talk about growing and developing as a designer in an in-house team. One of several themes I'm focusing on is 'the urge to grow' — I'd love Posts Peeps POV on this but it doesn't fit in one post, so find more details in the reply below ↓

Re: 'the urge to grow' — I've seen designers focused on reaching the highest level possible at an org as fast as possible, mostly motivated by financial reasons, but without understanding the exponential rise in responsibilities that come with that chase.

And in most case when designers don't get promoted because their leads feel its too soon for it, IC's can feel distressed and inclined to leave. Is this something you've ever managed/worked on? What advice would you give designers with this constant pursuit for promotion?

It's much appreciated, thanks for sharing. I 100% agree, I've also been guilty of this in the past but it's just become so exhausting as you well put it.
