No promotion has been offered to me to upgrade my existing Venture card to a Venture X card.

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

Hi ladies,
My manager is putting me up for promotion to senior level. I asked about what that means for compensation, he didn’t have an absolute answer but just said base salary will increase more than regular pay raise (hm.. okay it’s expected) but stock options won’t change. I have talked to a male senior peer before and learned that he makes about 20K more than me on base + almost double in equity. How would you suggest I utilize this information?
