As a Manager in IT, are you stuck in your career?

You have been a Manager in IT for a few years now. You show up, you deliver, your team trusts you, and yet something feels off. Promotions seem to happen for other people while you keep doing the same work, just with more meetings attached to it. You are good at the technical side, but nobody prepared you for the politics, the visibility, or the conversations that actually move your career forward. You tell yourself it will happen eventually, but a part of you wonders if you are simply comfortable, or genuinely stuck. If that sounds familiar, you are not imagining it.
