one of the reasons why tech culture has an 18-24 month half life at jobs... it's almost impossible to get a market competitive internal promotion. "not doing performance reviews" and only doing normal 1:1s + an occasional dive doesn't solve this problem at all. i've seen and been at plenty of places that do junior -> mid -> senior pipelines fine, but senior -> exec? it never happens despite external exec hires having extremely high miss rates and very high cost of miss. 100% blame this one on classism + unwillingness to trust people you know vs the shiny outsider.

The lack of competitive raises is an hr problem (or sometimes some form of zba style budgeting) not a process problem
