Not all jobs can offer growth. It&#x27;s in everybody&#x27;s best interests if you just move on from such jobs once you outgrow them.<p>I spent two and a half years at my current job maintaining a legacy codebase. I looked for, and explored, growth opportunities at that job. In the end, I had to find them myself. Nobody at the company could really put in the effort it would have taken to keep me fulfilled, so I did it myself. I did lots of reading, experimenting, diving deep into fundamentals.<p>I am a much, much better programmer than I was when I started the job. The company did not give that to me, it couldn&#x27;t have given it to me.<p>I eventually convinced the company to move off of the old legacy platform, that it was holding them back. I wanted to build them a new platform, but they decided to go with Magento. They&#x27;re giving me a pretty sweet severance deal while I go out looking for a job.<p>I firmly believe that anybody can grow at any job. It&#x27;s nice when the company can help you do that, but your own growth is your responsibility, and nobody else&#x27;s.
