> many companies will not give you more responsibility

You don't get responsibility. You take responsibility.

Of course this is harder in large companies, but it's equally important.

Underrated advice, right here. It's not always easy or gratifying, but it's served me well over the past 20 years.

I agree with this, I guess. But I've always thought of it as "assuming" more responsibility. Subtle difference.
