I was at IBM in ~iX~ and now work in strategy at a tech company. Tbh, not an easy transition given the day to day work we do/did at IBM.

I also think strategy is overrated.

To elaborate on the strategy thing:

1) strategy is somewhat of a back office / support role in tech. I imagine strategy at a cpg or healthcare company like CVS would be really cool.
2) the most money in tech goes to a) good enterprise sales people b) SWEs c) product people.

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?

My company has given me a promotion without a raise. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Little background:

Asked for promotion in late 2020 - was required to skill up, after skilling up, asked again about when I'll be promoted and was denied because there is no "vacancy" for it.
Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).
