Getting promoted w/o a salary hike

So since past few days, I'm getting feeling that they are going to sack my manager and are going to promote me to his level. They have already started sharing sheets with me whose access I didn't had earlier. It's a team of 6-7 designers, and I'm senior among them. Now, if they promote me toh manage this team, how should I ask for hike? What important things should I highlight so that I can make a good case for myself? Should I let them give me additional responsibilities and wait till june-July for appraisal? Appreciate all suggestions

I find myself in a rather perplexing situation at work and could use some impartial advice. Currently, I am employed at an Indian e-commerce firm where I have put in a lot of hard work. However, during the recent annual cycle, I was not promoted, and my salary hike was disappointingly meager (CCTC 14.5LPA). Naturally, I expressed my concerns to my manager, who advised me to wait until the mid-cycle as my promotion case would be reconsidered then. In the meantime, I actively sought out new opportunities, and I have received an enticing offer from a Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) firm with a significantly higher compensation of 24LPA. This is substantially more than what I'm currently earning, but less than my expected CTC that is around 28-30LPA. The confusion lies in the fact that my current firm has now initiated the promotion feedback process, and it's possible that I may get the promotion soon. I'm now torn between two choices: do I stay at my current job, potentially get the promotion, and then reconsider switching, or do I seize the opportunity at the CPG firm with the better financial package? I understand that both options have their pros and cons, but I'm finding it challenging to make a decision on my own. Any advice or insights you could provide would be immensely helpful in guiding me through this tough decision-making process.

I am working in Consulting post MBA - it is a mix of PM, Product Strategy, Implementation projects. I can work on industries and multiple offerings so learning is widespread but a slow upward curve. Pay is good considering my previous experience and peers. Work life balance is also decent. But, they are not giving promotions in my team because of some stupid leadership decisions. I will have to wait for next 6 months. So I am in dilemma if I should stay or switch. If you were in a similar situation, how did you make your decision?

Indian job market looks at YOE more than skills. I am working as SDE 1 pulling in SDE 2 tasks for a while. Declined promotion as have only 16 months of experience and not getting shortlisted for SDE 2 in other companies as well. What can someone do in this type of scenario.

I am a software engineer with 1 year of professional experience and about 2 years of experience counting all my freelance gigs as well as internships. I’ve identified that I’m good at picking up new technologies easily. I’m also very detail oriented and tend to find the moat optimal solutions even though my current position only expects me to follow the PRD provided by my tech lead. I find that most of the times, I have had to raise my concerns to my seniors for a change of an approach with me being correct almost all the time by the end of the discussion. Now I feel confused, that maybe I was being underestimated and therefore underpaid by my employer. Context: I switched to this company about 6 months ago with a package of 12 LPA and got a mere 5% hike to 12.65 LPA during last month with a promotion from being a technical associate -> software development engineer. During my meeting with the manager, i was told that my performance was ‘very good’ but since its been only 6 months, they are giving me a promotion to match my skills but not give me a good hike. Any thoughts?

Looking for genuine and non diplomatic answers since it will be anonymous. It is upto you to reveal the name of the company you resigned from. Lets discuss!!! I will go first - I quit my last organisation (a famous UPI company) in 2020 because, they still are in old technology. No cloud computing, no kubernates, no terraform. Their entire baremetal infra are in 2 DCs (Mumbai and Bangalore). Leadership ideas are outdated. I was very much bored and looking for a change.

So I was a top performer in my team, and the most tenured after my boss. My boss still wouldn't praise me enough or give visibility of my work to his seniors. Guess he was always insecure that I would shine brighter. So I decided to take my boss out by putting him under significant stress by making his role irrelevant. By simply DOING HIS WORK I started doing his work and and making decisions he is supposed to be making. Specially during a week when he was gone - I pretty much acted as a pseudo boss for the entire team. The final nail in the coffin was I somehow setup a meeting with my boss' boss and told him exactly how poorly managed our team was and how insecure my boss would behave. 6 months later my boss looked outside for a role and exited the company And this performance review cycle I still did not get the promotion. They're saying they'll bring another manager above us but they haven't promoted me. FML

I was expecting promotion this year. Someone two years junior from me gor promoted, ps different team same manager. My manager told me I am very good technically but need to grow on other aspects, did not told me what are the other aspects. He told me they will promote me once the project I am working on ends and my performance is good. Disheartened!! Worked my ass off last year, took initiatives even though no support from the team.

Hey guys! I have been working as a Business Analyst for Conduent for the past 2.5 years. I'm still at the same CTC they hired me on and everytime I brought up the topic to increase my compensation etc, my manager just tells me we are looking into it and it is because of budget issues. The excuses don't stop. its not like other people who joined with me aren't promoted. they did get a 20-30% raise. Can someone suggest me on how do I deal with this situation? Should I look for another job? or should I continue to fight here for the compensation I do deserve ?
