Do I go for a promotion even though I’m being told it isn’t a home run? Is there a backlash/ detriment to declaring for one and not receiving? Would I be wasting folk’s time? This is my first run at a promotion outside the Army.

Go for it. Nothing in life is a home run, may as well still take some cuts and give yourself the best shot

What does declaring for a promotion mean? You should always be striving to advance your skills and career. That includes advancing your "rank". That means having a continuing conversation with your leadership about your desires to be promoted and what you need to do to get there. Saying you want to get promoted and not getting promoted, well that's everyone - no blow back. Getting promoted and having no clue, not understanding the expectations - blowback

So you’re at Deloitte and trying to go up early? If you’re talking about it to leadership and have aligned support from M-PPMD then you’re fine. Just keep grinding and ticking those boxes

Always go for a promotion! Nobody will care more for you than yourself.

You would be surprised as to how many people on the civilian side don’t want to promote. With that in mind, always put your name out there but be picky. You don’t have to accept it just because they offered it. It should help you get to where you want to go

Don't listen to what other people say especially when they have never been through the situation before. If you want advice or opinion, it should be from someone who've been in the same situation and done all the things that you are pondering about. Reason why other people don't want promotion is because they refuse the challenge. Promotion means advancing your career and getting better compensation for a heavier and bigger responsibilities.

You ALWAYS go for the promotion. Nine times out of ten it won't be a home run but that doesn't mean you don't deserve it. I don't think there will be any backlash if you don't get it.

The way it works her is that it's best to tell your CC that you intend to push for promotion.

That way they keep opportunities in mind as well as begin to share information/ steps on what to pursue to position yourself most optimally.

I've told project leads here and there as well.

Even if it's not a guarantee, it's worth letting them know.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
