When I explain to people that it’s not enough for us to be good at our jobs (they expect everyone to be good) we have to go above and beyond they get confused. It’s like bruh, everyone they hire is ultra successful so being good is just the baseline. (Caveat that there will always be bad apples)

It’s that extra 1% that differentiates you...

Hi fishes,

This annual appraisal I have got a good % of appraisal increment on my salary but I was not promoted to a senior developer (although I have been mentoring a junior dev in my team and been part of building the project by implementing new technologies and tweaks) and my total YoE is 3.5+ years. What could be the reasons? What should I do now?

Thanks in advance!!

And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?

Hello,

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?
