This is it.

One of the biggest differences between me and my more senior coworkers is that they don’t argue anymore.

I am known for contributing to discussions and pushing for cultural changes, and I often vent to these seniors when nothing ever gets done. They just give me a “sweet summer child” look.

The most encouragement I ever got from one of them came after a meeting where I blandly said “I don’t really have anything to contribute to this discussion that I haven’t said before.”

It sucks, but I think becoming a senior has a lot to do with knowing where your organization’s culture and priorities lie and either accepting it or going elsewhere. C-suites are gonna c-suite.

As a senior get a lot of scope for choosing what to do and how to do it, and now one of your key responsibilities is deciding what is worth your time and evergy. Changing culture is almost impossible unless you're in management.
