I wish everyone realized this too is a form of worker exploitation. Most of us are working dead end jobs at the end of the day, and not letting you have career progression is almost like a paycut, they absolutely can give you superior roles that you are able to perform they just withhold them.

It's not that "they withhold them" - it's the sad fact that most companies only need a handful of very talented engineers and architects to solve the really big and exciting problems, but an army of developers to implement their LOB apps that are soul crushing. There simply isn't a need for that many high level problem solvers in most companies.
