11+ YOE & joined CTS as SA (@8yoe) in Nov 2022. Recieved 3,5,5 ratings in last 3 years. Was in talks with manager for promotion but got released due to massive rampdown. Now whenever my assignment ends I feel pressurized to get project asap rather than waiting for promotion eligible project. And its hard to get promotion in same projects even after peak performances as mostly projects are of shorter duration now.

any solution ? And any significant BENEFITS of promoting to M level in CTS ?

Leave CTS and get promoted , if you are a fan of CTS , come back as M after a year, with 11+ yoe their default designation for laterals is M

You can think beyond yoe and experience, be it any company a M role and SM role comes with equal amount of responsibility, that's where self awareness is mandatory, stop comparing yourself with your juniors or peers , KFC was made by a 60+ oldie and it became iconic , so experience and designation are just numbers , start thinking from the perspective of what value you are capable of giving to am organisation, where you stand with respect to your learning curve , do you really know your strengths and weaknesses and are you really playing them to your advantage, your goal shouldnt be comparing yourself with your peers or juniors but compared with a year back version of yourself , compare how many people you have impacted around, how many juniors you mentored who really adore you, how many clients are satisfied with the solutions you provided , a career is not a short 10-12 years game , it's a 35-40 years consistent commitment, with your kind of mindset even if you are SM at 10 years experience you will struggle in long term with your juniors, clients , peers and seniors even if on paper you are able to outshine all of them

I am defending an eviction for a client who has given possession of the property (as of Nov. 30). Plaintiff’s complaint has one claim – possession. They did request relief for attorney’s fees. NJT/Final Hearing commenced 10/27, was only 30 min and was therefore continued to 12/20. Plaintiff had counsel at that time but they are no longer represented.  I want to file something notifying Court that Plaintiff claim is now moot, making sure that judgment is not entered that hurts (cont'd)..
