It’s been 2 years since I’ve worked at this company in a new country . Is it Normal to expect/ask for a promotion at this time? Ppl usually say every 2 years you either get promoted or jump Companies to grow financially… so just trying to check my options here…

Two years seems like the right amount of time to be asking for a promotion. You've established a track record with the company and you can make a good case for the value that you deliver. Prepare to advocate for yourself and go for it!

Yeah I think you're totally within your right to ask for a raise/promotion at 2 years. Have you asked for a raise at any other company before? I'd just try to go in with an argumetn about your contributions to the company rather than expecting a raise for your tenure there.

If it’s a small company with limited employee turnover there may not be any role for you to be promoted to. As long as you are enjoying the work, like the people and are being paid fairly then stay put. Jumping ship to a new company for a few dollars more can be a risky action.

I think you should absolutely advocate for a promotion. The two year mark is a great time to do that. Especially if you feel like you've done a good job and have benefited the company in tangible ways. Let us know how it goes!

I feel like that’s definitely a reasonable time to ask.

Sharks and other fishes,
I need some career advice,
In my current company I think the development portion I've been given is kinda simple, I've asked my manager and seniors to level up my work and stuff, *which they did* but I kinda caught up.. now what should I do, should I ask them to level up again or look for better opportunities
Also, I had some Interest in CyberSecurity and I grinded it on my pre-final semester at Uni, should I try on that path as well or should I stick to development?

What’s a fair expectation for my first raise? Publicly traded co with ~2500 employees. I’ve been doing litigation with the company for almost 3 yrs and have only had a 2% cost of living raise so far. Graduated in 2014. Base comp is $127.5k in the Philly area. I see salaries all over the place in this site and it’s hard to tell whether mine is competitive.
