Shivangi's Post

Too senior to be micromanaged, too junior to say no. Welcome to mid-career limbo. You know this feeling, right? You've been working for 6-12 years. You're good at what you do. Yet somehow you're stuck in professional purgatory. Your manager hovers over basic tasks like you're still learning. But when impossible deadlines drop from above? "You'll figure it out." You're too experienced for hand-holding but not senior enough to push back without consequences. So you smile, nod, and quietly resent everything. You get the work nobody wants because "you're so reliable." You mentor juniors while getting questioned on your own decisions. You see problems coming but get told to "stay positive" when you speak up. The worst part? You start doubting yourself. Maybe you really aren't ready. Maybe this is just how it is. Here's the truth: Mid-career limbo isn't permanent. It's a signal you need to advocate for yourself differently. Stop waiting for permission to be treated like the professional you already are. Ready to break out of this stuck phase? Comment YES and I'll add you to my free community where we discuss real strategies for getting unstuck. What's your biggest mid-career frustration right now?
