Ask HN: Career growth – when to stop climbing, am I at my upward movement limit?

I'm not sure how much higher I want to climb the corporate ladder, although my current position seems like a stepping stone for many, and it seems like the company thinks the role I'm in - that is, the role itself, not me specifically - is a temporary step. The role above me does seem like a destination for many. I also feel a bit stuck - a few of my peers have moved up, while I haven't, and I may not be suited for the next level, even if I want to move up at least 1 more? I'm not happy to admit how much that hurts my ego and maybe I'm disappointed/giving up because I don't want to face others around me saying "why are his now former peers moving up and not him?"
