Any ideas on what would be a nice thoughtful gift to my principal / partner team for supporting me thru a promotion?

I highly recommend not gifting up. It is their job to develop and support you if you’re doing your job well. If you really want to do something, a nice thank you note goes a long way.

Awwww... that is very nice.

Assuming you’re in the US, unless you were admitted to Partnership, I wouldn’t do gifts. A nice hand-written note or an email explaining why they mattered to your success would be lovely. I really enjoy those as do my peers. Gifts are a bit awkward.

Congratulations!

I have always appreciated a thoughtful thank you note - and happily will have a celebratory cocktail! But no gifts are required or expected.

Yeah, you want to avoid any optics issues around quid pro quo, which means it would have to be a gift of very small monetary value if any. A nice handwritten card would be much better and more meaningful.

Hi Fishes,

I am currently working as an Analyst in HCL Technologies BSERV which is considered as a BPO. I received a promotion to a new job post Sr. Associate-WPC. Is this new position also a part of BPO or does it come under IT or Technical Department? Also currently there is no hike being provided even though the band has changed from 0.3 to 1.1, can I expect a hike once the yearly cycle is completed?

3 years ago I asked for a compensation review/raise, went through what felt like a ridiculous 8 MONTH long process of defending why it was warranted, only to be told no. 3 months ago I asked again and it has gone nowhere. I should add that salary bands are kept secret and I have no clue what the range for my position is. There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?
