I’ve been working as a finance executive for 9 years in a small company. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable skills and handled a lot of responsibilities, but despite my efforts, there’s been no sign of promotion. I’m torn between staying and waiting for growth or moving to a bigger company where I might have better opportunities. My concern is whether larger companies will value my experience from a smaller setup. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Would love to hear your thoughts!

it’s frustrating! Sometimes you just hit a wall in a smaller company. But honestly, a lot of larger companies will appreciate the variety of skills you’ve picked up, especially in finance. If you’re looking for more challenge and growth, a bigger company could be the right move. Worst case, you learn something new even if you don’t stay

it’s tough if you’re not seeing any growth. Bigger companies usually offer more room to move up, and your experience in a small company could actually be a huge plus! They’ll likely value the fact that you’ve taken on so many different responsibilities. If you feel stuck, it might be time to look around for something that offers more opportunity.

if you’re not seeing that promotion or growth, maybe it’s time to explore. Bigger companies usually have more structure for advancement, and your experience in a smaller setup gives you a lot of versatility that could stand out. It’s worth considering if you’re ready for the next step
