I’m a research scientist and been working for a couple years at the same company. The projects that I am working at my current company mostly end up taking a lot of time for developing infrastructure and leaves me with little time for analysis/research. I’m starting to get concerned that I am becoming more of a infrastructure developer and less of a researcher. I just want to be able to dedicate more time for doing research and I feel like I’m not doing it currently. I do understand it is very crucial to develop infrastructure but I don’t want to spend majority of my time doing that.
I want to climb up the ladder fast and become a Sr. Researcher in the next year and a principal researcher in 4-5 years from now. I don’t see that happening if I spend most of my time developing infrastructure. I have seen a couple of people in my company grow that fast and I see them as my current role models. But they are so high up in the hierarchy that I don’t get to have this type of conversation with them.
I would like to hear if someone had similar experience and would really like to know how you accomplished it. I think your experience/stories would greatly benefit me. Thanks!

Also, I wouldn't worry too much about climbing the ladder fast and instead focus on personal development. To put it bluntly, being a senior or principal researcher doesn't mean much at HPE. It's better to jump ship to a more prestigious lab.
