I’ve been at the same level since 2018, and approaching 2 years at my current company. I keep getting passed for promotions and my employer has been interviewing people with less experience than me for senior roles (including the position for my manager). I’m an immigrant and feel like my communication skills are hindering me, and management is reluctant to promote me. Anyone else been in a similar situation? I’ve been working extremely hard + bringing in results, but feel discriminated against

Been there. I gave 300% for 3 years and I left after getting several rounds of rave reviews from my peers and CD. I was outspoken, took initiative, delivered, and did way more than I needed to with nothing to show for it.

This was not just me, but most of the women in my agency. I was 1/4 WoC. We all ended up leaving for the titles we were already doing the jobs of, and for 50-150% more pay.

I'd start looking. If you care to stay, make a plan with your boss to see what they're evaluating you on

Good luck, you're worth much more.

That was me! I ended up switching because I just couldn't deal with it. I did try to be more outspoken in my next role but idk. Somehow I could only make the salary bump by switching jobs vs staying in one place

Did you move laterally or did you get a more senior role when moving? I’ve been at my level for so long that I feel like I’m overqualified when applying for similar positions

Also I’m glad to know you moved!

I was in the same boat! Honestly, I stayed put because it was flexible and allowed to have some semblance of a work life balance...but that also meant that I was missing out on money. I switched to get the salary/title bump I wanted, which is great but not going to stay put forever. Definitely felt like I was supposed to be "working harder" at my old job despite everyone else getting promotions etc. Pointless to stay in that case
