Do you think promotion is more a preception game rather than the output yout actually produce?

Absolutely. Assuming you're gonna get promoted within a year, the first 2-3 months goes on happily kicking in the feeling. 4-6 months pass by understanding the process better and finding some loop holes for your comfortable work advantage.

The months 7-8 you explore more of the loopholes and keep working more efficiently because you've been in the system for a long time.

The 9-10 month starts hitting you hard when you understand the pay might be less for the work you do and you can do better by a promotion or a job change.

By 11-12 month, you are planning job options, updating resume and keeping things standby for either this or that.

By 12th month the reality hits you, and you're forced to make a choice

100% yes. I've been a poor performer at work in the past when certain difficulties were happening in my personal life, and still managed to talk my way into a promotion while simultaneously avoiding a PIP.

I heard that internal candidates have much lower salary ranges for promotions / transferring teams. So much so that some people will leave the company a year just to come back to a more competitive offer.

I am in the running for a 2 band level promotion - if / when it gets to salary discussions, should I still try to negotiate? What are peoples thoughts? I would be going from an entry level role for 1 year to a senior role, but I still want a fair compensation compared to other hires.
