But i think we also need to look at long term view to see if there is room to climb further 10 years down.it gets quite demoralizing if one stays too stagnant too long and promotion salary increases do come In handy to cope with inflation , expenses and Add more funds for retirement planning :)Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033179494515844181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250592099846123314.post-48563463025100537822012-01-11T20:19:10.136+08:002012-01-11T20:19:10.136+08:00Hat’s off.

My previous boss had a policy of delaying promotions; he specifically mentioned he did not want to promote pple too fast. That should have been a warning sign to plan for a getaway asap. Guess I was blinded by the scholarship bond.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633191740991225888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250592099846123314.post-47968723681909129762012-01-10T11:34:13.594+08:002012-01-10T11:34:13.594+08:00Hi Guru,

Is your boss going to move up soon and how Many competitors you have?<br />==> Not much, a long overdue promotion to a senior engineer, which was delayed likely due to some minor office politics. But pay raise is minimal for promotion anyway.<br /><br />2. Is your company still making profit?<br />==> Currently yes, but dropping. <br /><br />3. Have you spoken to your boss about promotion?<br />==> The boss hinted already without me speaking.<br /><br />4. Can you justify the promotion?<br />==> Easily. <br /><br /><br />The key thing is not promotion, but that promotion brings little salary benefit actually. Apart from the fact that I'm in such a comfort zone here that I do not need to spend too much of my energy to complete any work here. The technicals are mostly simple to me.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633191740991225888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250592099846123314.post-61501910080327954322012-01-08T21:22:20.853+08:002012-01-08T21:22:20.853+08:00How long is your immediate boss in his/her cuurent...How long is your immediate boss in his/her cuurent job?<br /><br />How long is your boss's boss in his/her current job?<br /><br />Then you can estimate how long will it take for you to move up?Createwealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/08563834016250153049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250592099846123314.post-61878884269141327342012-01-08T17:30:09.791+08:002012-01-08T17:30:09.791+08:00I dont think it is a good idea to change jobs if y...I dont think it is a good idea to change jobs if you have so Many sidelines to manage, new job means new challenge, stress and the need to prove yourself..Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033179494515844181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250592099846123314.post-18061262655178876922012-01-08T17:24:36.608+08:002012-01-08T17:24:36.608+08:00Hi JW,

I think...Hi JW,<br /><br />I been through the same phase too.<br />I think you need to ask yourself this few questions:<br />1. Where is the next position you would go after current role and is there room to move up? Is your boss going to move up soon and how Many competitors you have?<br />2. Is your company still making profit?<br />3. Have you spoken to your boss about promotion?<br />4. Can you justify the promotion?<br /><br />CheersGuruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033179494515844181noreply@blogger.com
