The Designation Donfusion
1st issue:
It has been almost 2 years since I joined a company as a fresher. Got the increment twice but still have the same designation.
Planning to switch after the completion of 2 years, will it be a hit point that I worked in a company on the same designation for 2 years??
Should I ask my manager or head to think about changing it?
2nd issue:
I do financial+ market research, data analysis, and working on a product that is yet to launch (I know this product more that anyone, not a developer but did robust improvements in it, gave several solutions for it, can say that I'm unsung Product Analyst here).
Based upon the above task, what should be my designation?
Ask your manager what it takes to go to the next level, or how you should do it.
+1, it is both your and your manager’s responsibility to curate a sustainable path for your promotion. Have more frequent 1-1s to discuss this path and identify what is stopping the promotion.
Good companies also have a chart which highlights the key responsibilities that an individual should already be at to get promoted. Use that to identify your strengths and weaknesses and work with your manager around it.
1st: got it
2nd: eventually, my company is in its initial stage and don't have defined roles or responsibilities. But I'm sure, if i approach them asking for the desired designation then they will consider it.
