I see one of my peers got promoted quick but is working on terrible accounts. It made me grateful for the work I’m doing right now.

Would you rather get promoted and paid more, or get promoted at a slower pace but work on super fun brands w/ cool ideas?

Do you want to run a marathon or a sprint? That’s how I’d look at it. I’ve worked on those terrible accounts for more, and I can’t do it for long.

Yes totally agree! But what if you’re crushing it and then they want to put you on a terrible account, would you take the promotion?

As a junior: choose for the position where you will make the best work and work with the best people. All people who jumped to bad accounts for a short term raise or promotion are worse off now.

For where I'm at in my career, I would rather more money and more challenging accounts.. But eventually I will want to settle down and deal with easier accounts, regardless of the money.

Interesting. At what point did that shift for you in your career?

Definitely the latest. Being able to be creative and explore various ideas gives me a lot more energy to go to work!

Sending you all the good vibes too ⚡️😊

Until I can pay my bills with fun, I'll take the higher pay 😂. Work is work at the end of the day - even the most exciting projects won't make up for being underpaid. The goal, of course, is a balance between the two, but in my 7 years' experience, that's proven hard to find.

Do you think you ever experienced a balance between the two or not yet?

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.
