Ok not exactly sure where I'm going with this but as I'm working on a new job search I've been thinking about this. There are certain fields/jobs/situations that have clearly defined, or at least clearly existing, paths for advancement. As in, if you put in the time/effort, you will be at least here in X years if not better.
On the other hand, there are other situations where from day 1 it is clear that there is no potential to advance, regardless of effort or ability. I've had two jobs so far and they both fell into this category.
What advice do you have for finding the first category of jobs? I'm a big boy and if my situation ain't improving I'll do what it takes to make the next move. But it would be nice to find a job that could facilitate that process instead of constantly feeling the pressure to make moves
