Need advice! I’ve been in my current job for a few years now and have been passed over for promotions for external candidates a couple of times (this is a trend in my organization).
Add insult to injury, the person they brought in as my new VP is woefully under-qualified for the role (has 5 years less experience than me overall and has never worked in Client Services at all - Biz Dev background). Because he has no clue (cont’d below)…

He’s been taking on work that even I shouldn’t be doing at my level (I’d expect a more junior person to do most of these tasks) and it’s not allowing me to elevate.
Advancement opportunities keep getting dangled in front of me as something that’s “just 6 months away” but I just don’t buy it given the history, and especially since I’m getting pushed down by my new boss.
Do I give up and move on? I’ve tried to have candid conversations with the VP about all of this but he just doesn’t know how to do the job so it feels a little hopeless.

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.
