Is never getting promoted aside from hopping jobs a red flag for managers? I’ve hopped every 2-3 years but have never received an in-job promotion, but my comp has gone from 70k>300k in 8 years

Does it personally matter to you? If you’re making 300k and not managing people I would consider that a win

^ I’d agree there. Little responsibility and still making good money? Who cares? Other than you’re going to get pegged into the individual contributor bucket, but if that doesn’t matter then 🤷‍♂️

I don't think it's uncommon for SMEs to be passed over for promotion, unfortunately. There's a perception that technical folks will be content in a stable role without comp adjustment or promotion, unfortunately.

Until they see their best talent leaving and trying to figure out how many pizza parties it will take to meet retention goals.

I mean if you’re at 300K now just stay at that job for 2 years and it will look fine

I’m not talking about promotion to manager. I mean I’ve literally never gotten a promotion outside of switching jobs. Even after 3 years at one place I was passed over.

It means they failed to appreciate you before you went on to do better for yourself

Same here I’m at 6 YOE and also at 300k. Hoped every 1-2 years. Data science/ quant work is the way to go. I think I’ll be at 450 by 10 YOE just need to decide if I want to switch now to a remote tech job or try to be banking executive.

The term data science can be used broadly like some data analysts call themselves data scientists but real data science and quantitative modeling work will never go away especially for certain areas which are under a lot of regulatory scrutiny and where you need to be able to defend the models you develop when something goes wrong by using theory. Tools such those by H2O.ai automate a lot of work for model development and stuff but it still needs someone with a strong technical background to understand and write up the accompanying documentation for it

It sounds like you just aren’t waiting out their promotion

I see no issue

I wonder this too, as someone who’s on their 3rd role I’m trying to stick this one thru to get the promo and then I’ll probs bounce ahah

Yeahh my friends who also hop around mostly make around 50-100% of what others who have stayed in one place make in their same fields

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
