Need some advice. I’ve been working at my company for 3 years. I helped an old coworker get hired on about 6 months into my role. He was not honest about his skill level and when I was hired I helped with training him. Anyways, he was promoted to media supervisor this week. I am in the same role/ position. How do I approach my manager with 1. Why was I not offered the opportunity to apply? 2. I have more experience and am still in the same position tho I have made it clear to my managers my goal

Ask the question about yourself and don’t include your colleague in the question.

“when do you think I’ll be ready for a supervisor position ?”

Are you a woman? And a more junior man just got a promo ahead of you?

Sounds about right - this happens allllll the time.

Definitely ask about your timeline to promotion.

“I noticed that my referral who I helped to train and mentor just received a promotion. I’d love to know what the next steps are for my promotion and when I can expect to have my performance check in to evaluate my growth. It would be great for me to be able to plan for my career development.”

Yes I am a woman. And no when he was hired we were in the same position. I have 5+ years experience in media buying. When he was brought on as my equal I was training him how to set up campaigns in Facebook, DCM, etc etc

I’ve been proposed an exit as Product Owner at a real company, not a consulting one. Staff seems nice, good culture, good salary (less than consulting but well), BUT I would have to move countries for that job and start a new life.

Which one would you take? Should I exit and never look back?
