well, i am now 2 years and 8 months in the company i am in, but i still have the same position as when i started It makes me quite sad since i think i deserve it, since the work i am doing is definitely above my pay grade now. I am just unlucky because the project i am in does not have a huge budget. Anyways, i am confused if i should stick here for a few more months, or just try to transfer to another project..or even another company

Maybe you can start applying for a new job while you are still there

@lady1993 yes, if you feel that you should be promoted and yet there is no room for you to be promoted you should start thinking and applying too.

I am sorry that you feel that way. Sometimes it is frustrating and disappointing at the same time. I hope you can have your promotion this year.

Sometimes when you expect a promotion they will not happen. Just keep putting yourself out there, do a lot of work and I'm sure you will be rewarded appropriately.

Upon your observation, how many months of works your colleagues taken before they were promoted in your company? In our country back up system rules.

hmm, some of my batch mates were promoted after a year, some a few months after that year.

@lady1993 Oh I see, what reason do you think why it is not happening to you? I think back system is happening. When you don't have one then it is so hard to get promoted.

Why don't you keep trying hunting for a new job while working on the present

Well, you have to weigh the situation and if you still love your work then stick to it but if you no longer love it anymore then let go.
