Yep.  Most recently, I applied and interviewed for a senior role at another company while interviewing for a senior role on another team in my company.  I used one job to set expectations and negotiate for the other.  In the end, the new company was willing to pay more and the company I was at went with someone else.  So I had a way out in my back pocket and I'm now making 40 percent more than I was at my old job as a result.  Really, I think it's a good idea to explore the job market like that every 2 years or so.

Always have an updated copy of your resume ready. In today's culture, the idea of "company loyalty" doesn't exist anymore. If a company is not promoting you as fast as you would like, promote yourself to a new company. Thanks to covid and working from home, this is easier than ever for many professions.
