Career stagnation
I have been in the same role for 8 years, there is no opportunity to rise up because it’s a relatively small company and I hold a support services role. On the flip side, the pay is good, the retirement benefits and health benefits are amazing and I have almost total flex time.
My concern is how much longer can I stay in this role before it counts against me, where someone says “why did she stay a director for 20 years”

I'm in a similar position. While my title hasn't changed, my job really does change year to year. I focus on the growth that I've had and the changes in the role. If I want to move up, I have to leave my organization and I don't want to at this time.

I don’t think the question is so much “why were you in the position for 20 years”, but “what did you do in those 20 years”? What improvements did you bring, what is your management style, how did you save the company money...etc.
