I've been experiencing this in my previous job and same thing happens in my current job, but currently, it is not as bad. My guess is that it is to do with my title, as I startes of as trainee, so had to move onto a different company as a junior. There seemed to be a lack of opportunities for people with ideas. The only way was to move on.
In my current job the progression depends on the amount of time you worked as a developer, which in my opinion is a bad type of metrics. Skills should be rated depending on the talent, not the amount of time you've spent working. Experience could be bad or good IMHO, therefore writing poor code for 10 years does not make you a quality worker. But that's just how I see it.
Anyhow, this is a quality post.
Thanks

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and perspective, alexisat.
Indeed anyone shouldn't rate someone for the years spent in the field but for their quality, values and attitude.
Thank you also for your kind words,
all the best to you!
