Q: The GC of my company left and my colleague was promoted instead of me to take over the department. I still like my job, but is it the right career move to leave? What should I do?

A: I’m sorry you’ve encountered this experience. It is never easy to come in second in anything. It hurts. It smarts. It bruises. And being edged out for a coveted promotion is a particularly bitter pill to swallow. But for all the pain and suffering, this event need not be a setback. In fact, your career can and will go on to flourish if you so choose.
