How long did you have to wait for your first promotion? I’ve been at my current company in the same role for three years. Have they forgotten about me or is this normal? I'm nervous that I'm waiting for something that's never gonna happen.

Have you communicated to your management that you want a promotion?

About a year give or take a few months. It's very important to reach out to your manager or team lead and let them know you're looking for a promotion. Lots of times they'll side track you if they think they can, especially if you're good at the role you're doing now.

1 year (not at Citi)

Yeah. I would say one is standard. Two is a definite. If you're hitting year three with nothing, it's time to have the talk with them.

Hmm, 3 years is a while. Is this your first job?

I’m in the UK. In every place I’ve worked where an employee grows in-role and takes on more responsibility because the responsibility needs taking on, that has usually been discussed with one’s manager. If it’s a new job, in organic progression of current role, within the same company — then usually that’s an internally advertised position and several people apply into that promotion. I have never heard of promotions being handed out automatically after a term of time.

I got promoted after three years. It really depends on how many openings there are for spots above where you are. I wouldn't say it is abnormal though.

I wasnt promo’d after 2 years and have just accepted a job offer elsewhere…

1 year. Second role took 3.5 years until the third.

Got an offer to work at a boutique PE fund as an intern for the next few months. The role is however unpaid and the fund is new.

For some background, I’m going to be starting at a T-2 firm doing CDD for PE funds in January. Wondering if getting this kind of experience looks good when I apply to analyst roles 1-2 years out? Don’t want to work without getting paid unless the experience is valuable. Would love any perspective on this.

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth.

Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.

I expect offers from both: AWS around $400k TC ($250k base + $150k stock) and the startup should be around $300k TC ($250k base + 20% bonus). If comp wasn't the ONLY consideration, what would you do? The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.
