Asking for a promotion, being told to hit these goals. Hitting them and then not getting the promotion? I know the only real answer is to leave but the job is so convenient for my personal life / work life balance. So frustrating!

Did you reach out to understand why? Maybe it's just timing, you should get it anytime soon. You’ve proven yourself and deserve to be seen. Maybe there’s a way to gently revisit the convo and ask what’s really holding it back.

Yes and it’s always down to budgets, which makes me think it will never happen

Decide which is important to you, the work/life balance or the promotion? I will say now they know they can push you for more without rewarding you if you stay. Personally, I would let them know that you hit the goals and don’t understand why they aren’t living up to their word. Do not believe them if they say, we can’t do it now, but if you do xyz, we’ll find a way to make it happen. They are using you.

I think I’ve decided to now just focus on doing my work only and no more. Surely they can’t get rid of me for just doing what I am employed to do! The work life balance is most important to me

It’s really frustrating but also do you really want the promotion in what seems to be such a toxic culture?

Well it’s only toxic with my managers that are never in, the rest of my colleagues and work culture is actually amazing and the first place I’ve loved working at

Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?
Or the promotion for the mid year already done?
I see for many people the designation has changed but for me it's not. I was under the impression that the promotion happens after the mid year discussion or after the year end discussion.
Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

Is it feasible to push from promotion from SM to D with under 1 years tenure at the firm, or would that not be entertained? Opportunity in the team, SM grade is over staffed with more coming in, no Directors, and have been high performer (based on metrics, sales and developed strong network)

For everyone asking how much hike can we expect at this rating(vc/hc/ec), please understand the below points:
1. Rating is only applicable on variable pay
2. Hike % is independent of the rating
3. Hike depends on a lot of factors like your current salary, how is it comparable to the market or the level you are in, do you have a progression/promotion, etc

what % raise do i ask for...

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)

I have been a software developer (professionally) for about 7 years now, but I’ve decided to move out from that job and do something else (still in tech).
I don’t know yet what to do exactly, but I know I just don’t want to be only writing code every day.
Tbh, I am scared. But I have set myself one year to learn something new.
I also want to go for a job that pays more (55k€ currently). I live in Paris, France, and software developers are not well paid.
Any suggestion for a career transition?
