Right time to ask for promotion

I am currently an APM with a startup. Recently completed 1 year in my current org. Total work ex: 2years In my prior org worked as a product analyst. Current comp:23LPA

I am unable to decide when shall i ask my manager for a promotion. I have completed 1 year as an APM and done pretty well in my current org. I am working on a highly impo/prestigious project. Earlier thought to ask after the project would be successfully implemented but now i feel that might backfire as the success of the project is unknown.

What do you guys suggest?

Hey @LimpingGap9, one strategy that has worked for me is to talk to my manager and work on a career progression plan with clear goals and skills. Ask them what skills should you acquire to get promoted to PM role, if they say you have all the skills then you have your answer ;)

And just to highlight, you shouldn’t wait for a project’s success to ask for promotion.
