Any advice on how to get promoted?

BA - now taking in Grade F minimum
PM - now taking in Grade G minimum
IT Consultant is the old or general term/name for BA/PM in SVC

Let’s say a 5k monthly pay default c grade

Jan 22 got 2%
= 5.1k

Apr 22 got adjustment of 7% (annual 3% + competency 2% + market 2%)
Round up to 5.46k
Annual is a must to meet inflation, 3% should be right, for competency 2% is ****, market adjustment just like Jan 22 🤣

May 22 got 13mth bonus fold in, FAANG pay 12mths only..
~round up to 5.92

That’s around 18.5% jump!

I think this is how GT top mgmt gonna smoke us 😂😂😂

Exactly why people work hard to improve so to get better pay and be at better place, if only 2% sure will be disappointed as hell.

Please don't look expect too much for Apr/May ajustmemt. Might be at most another (1-3%) increment for MDR. Oh! MDR not applicable for QE + most of the non-tech role.

How you know is not applicable for QE?
Is it applicable for DevOps?
