Would you consider your marketing manager constantly trying to tag team with you on projects or brainstorming as a sign that you're the most favorable in their eyes? I'd have let it slide if it only happened once or twice, but it happens all the time. Would this be a good or bad time to ask if there are any opportunities for a promotion?

Definitely means you’re trusted and seen as a valuable contributor, and it’s a positive sign for your future at the company. If you're consistently being invited and hopefully can drive project success, that'd be a strong case to start a conversation about new opportunities or a promotion. Ideally, right after a notable achievement or campaign win.

It’s never the wrong time if you are interested. I’d also be asking if that’s just a part of the job or how they operate.

It’s a good sign. Working on these projects gives you what you need to make your case.

I agree with the above. It’s a good sign, and I think the sooner you express interest in a promotion, the better. Even if there’s not right now, you’ll stay top of mind if there is a chance in the next few months. Plus with review season coming up, it’s good to show you’re interested.

All good stuff. Make sure you’re not being taken advantage of being pigeonholed into a specific skill or role though as well. Always amazing to be seen as a thought partner and the first one they call. But I have also seen people get stuck because “they’re too valuable” in their current role

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

So this goes both ways.

I wanted Google since I started the whole interview process, but I am now not sure given the salary difference.

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?
