When you were promoted did you feel like you had to ask for it or was it given to you when you “deserved” it?

I have only promoted myself by moving to a new job.

Ask well in advance of promo time. Better yet, make it constant convo w/ your manager.

They should be aware of your goals, and if you are ready for the next level. Most managers will do what they can to get you promoted

I’ve never been promoted. Always moved up by leaving for a higher salary or position.

And having to start all over again

I’ve never gotten promoted internally. In fact there were many cases where I found out the agency was deliberately underpaying me by a lot and refusing to give me a promotion. So I left and got one at the new agency.

I’ve never asked. It’s either been merit based or I get annoyed and leave to make the jump happen.

Hi All,

Say you have an offer for Senior Test Engineer and SDET (not senior).
Compensation is same. Both the companies are good.

Given the narrowing boundaries between testing and dev, which position is better in the long run? I thought it'd be SDET.
But, I'd like to have expert/experienced opinion.

I’ve heard salaries have gone up quite a bit in the midst of the pandemic and I’m wondering if this is true for EAs as well. There’s a myriad of data online about EA salaries depending on age/experience but I’m interested in salaries from jobs accepted in 2020/2021 specifically!

Please feel free to share:

- Your salary from any job accepted in 2020/2021
- Any offers you may have received but rejected
- Your length of experience

Thank you!

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.
