I am due for promotion next year from S. Con to Manager. I was assured that I would get it this yr but didn't happen and now the partner tells me that it's definitely going to happen next year. I have got an offer with 50% hike from a well to do start up but for the same profile. Should I make the move or should I wait another year? In a dilemma, kindly advice. I was also awarded the president award this time - but I guess that was more like a consolation for not getting the promotion.

Startup is a different ball game. If u r up for it, take it but it comes with a risk of stability (obviously, comparatively ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ).

Even if you get promoted next year, m sure there will be no hike. So make decision accordingly

If you love development work, move to the startup. As M, you would move further from development work and will end up managing client and internal stakeholders.

When you say same profile do you mean senior consultant? Or manager? If it's manager and 50% go for it. But be ready to face challenges of startup environment.

I am joining at a senior dev role and I have worked at startups before so I am not much worried about the work culture as I do know some people who are working there. But worried if leaving a future promotion in 9 months is worth it.

If the startup is stable, take the offer. Not that your life is going to change significantly after the promotion! Besides while we have been speaking about downside, if the startup does well there is significant upside for you. Here you are just a number

Hey! My company is giving me a new title (previously: Senior PMM, new: Global Lead of product marketing). The roles are very similar with no material change of responsibilities. itโ€™s the result of a re-org. Also, Iโ€™ve been deemed a high performer and approaching my 1 yr review.

In any case, as Iโ€™m waiting on the official letter, they have been very vague that theyโ€™re will be a compensation increase. In fact, this hasnโ€™t been presented as a promotion. How would you approach this conversation?
