there’s this weird line between being a team player and quietly letting yourself get overlooked. and im now starting to feel frustrated.

at what point do you advocate for yourself?
when do you speak up and say “I deserve more” without it coming off wrong?

do you wait until your review? In the moment? Or just wait until your manager notices?
I feel like no one really teaches you how to do this without feeling awkward or dramatic.

I'd wait until the review to talk comp. That's the only time it's slightly less awkward to bring up. I get your frustration, but don't go into the conversation prepped for a confrontation. Just calmly make your case based on the quality of the work you've been doing and the value it's bringing to the company.

Appreciate your perspective thanks. I feel like review time is the most organic time to bring something up like this. But was wondering if anyone regularly brings up concerns like this successfully at other times. Guess not!

I went through six rounds of interviews including putting together a 30 minute presentation which I presented to the whole team. The whole process took about six weeks. I turned down another lead position at a different company waiting. After all that they told me that hiring for this role was on hold until further notice. At the end of the day it’s business, but I am left feeling like I wasted my time (and theirs.)Totally confused and disheartened by this process. Anyone else experiencing this?
