Raw LLM Responses

I am unfamiliar with European environment so take this with a grain of salt. You have two paths to promotion assuming your company has a mature promotion pipeline: 1. Your manager is personally vested in your promotion, because their performance evals are determined somewhat by the growth of their reports. In other words they are incentivized to see you promoted because it will lead to better comp for them or better budgeting for their team 2. You have an offer-in-hand from another company as leverage The chances of you seeing a sizable promotion in any other situation is purely luck-based -- if you feel like your skillset is worth X amount TC then my recommendation would be to job search while still employed and reevaluate your current role once you have a few offers.
