Is it good to work in the same company for almost 6-7 years when there is no growth and no promotion for the last 3 years? I think I should just quit and look for better options outside.
Would it not make more sense to secure another offer BEFORE you quit?Regarding no growth and no promotion, some thoughts:It’s not clear from your question, but are you the only one there who’s experiencing this problem?Have you tracked your work at this job, including your accomplishments and how your results benefited the company? If not, it’s not hard to start doing so. Promotions are like any negotiation; you’re “arguing” your case with evidence of what you’ve brought to the table.If this is a company-wide problem however, I’d start looking elsewhere. Inflation is still happening even as your salary stays the same, which means you’re actually losing money.I’d start by quietly looking at what job prospects are in your field. How are competitors doing? If other people in your field are doing well, then clearly something’s up with your current company.If job prospects in the field at large are slim, that tells you a lot about the current market. In which case, aim for the best opportunities you can reasonably get, and do some research to see what you can do to make yourself the most marketable. (New skills or certifications?)Also check salary websites like Salary, Glassdoor and Payscale to see what you’re really worth. People who do this often find they’re being underpaid (and exactly how much). This comes in handy when both job hunting and positioning yourself for promotion negotiations.

Just asking b/c im going to do 10 or more years in the Marine Corps Infantry and was wondering when the preform security clearances! Thanks
How do college professors get tenure?
First, they work an assistant professor. Here, they do research, teach some lower level classes and earn the respect of peers in their department on the campus and broaded community. This lasts in most cases 5-7 years (less for exceptional people, more for those who struggle.) During this time, their responsibility increases - they get to teach more classes, and better ones. They get published, present at conferences, etc. After the 5-7 year range, they apply for tenure. They put together a package of their writing, results from student surveys, etc. This is reviewed by people at the university as well as peers at other universities. Then all of these people weigh in on the decision and tenure is granted. With tenure, the assistant professor is promoted to associate professor. As an associate professor with tenure, the professor gets to serve on some committees and takes on more leadership. They also have even more freedom to research whatever they want because their job is protected unless they do something that's basically illegal. They can also go on sabbatical where they can take time off without teaching to do research, travel, or teach somewhere else. Finally, they can be promoted to full professor where basically they just get even more responsibility and serve as dept chair and things like that.
Anyone heard of clear root beer, and where can i get it?
Dylan, I believe this easily could have been root beer, however, I am not a buff on brands. For a simple root beer recipe these are the only ingredients needed, hence, it's pretty clear: 2 cups sugar 1 cup water 1 tablespoon root beer extract 64 ounces carbonated water 1 tablespoon of extract is not nearly enough to color the soda dark brown as we normally see it. Although the above recipe is a 'quick' recipe (The Frugal Gourmet Whole Family Cookbook), most root beer recipes used to contain yeast for the carbonation process, which would also change the color, although today it is typically artificially carbonated. In addition to artificial colors/flavorings, root beer can also be made by adding flavors such as maple syrup, molasses, etc., which are dark. You should check-out the following link for great history, listing of brands available, and recipes. I am a bit schooled on this, as I make a more involved but still simplified soda here (root beer and cream soda), as well as root beer cake w/ root beer frosting (1950's recipe).
