I had never considered sunk cost fallacy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_cost on the long term time horizon of my career. In multiple cases, I stayed on longer than I should have. Early in my career I suffered from short term thinking, rather than guiding my job in the direction I wanted. Will growth allow me to follow the career track of my manager or other senior IC? Do I even want that? Am I gaining valuable experience, or am I beginning to stagnate?
