While getting a promotion, a raise, or switching jobs is indeed the fastest way to advance, the principle of being strong oneself still holds true. Only by continuously learning and increasing our knowledge in our professional field, improving our communication skills, and gaining more experience through learning and practice can we achieve promotions and raises more quickly. This is my understanding.
This is really difficult, and not everyone can persevere…
-
Strive to enhance cognition
-
Broaden your horizons
-
Enrich yourself (evaluate yourself from various dimensions and also fully collect evaluations from others to improve yourself)
-
Find the direction that suits you and keep working hard…
Best wishes to all TiDBers, may you all find the direction that suits you and not feel lonely on the journey~
Gao Qiqiang is the best example:
Of course, the premise is that Gao Qiqiang himself must also be very strong.
Currently, it’s difficult to balance work and taking care of family. If remote work can be developed in terms of skills, it can help achieve this balance.
There should be both. Just waiting for a raise definitely won’t work. At any time, your abilities and output value should match. Continuously improving yourself, and when your salary and abilities are not aligned, choose to resign and look for a salary and position that better suits you. This should be better. If you switch jobs just for a raise, and you can handle it, that’s fine. If not, aren’t you setting yourself up for failure?
Promotion? It doesn’t exist. There’s only one position, which is DBA.
Work hard, keep learning, and maintain your “value.”
There’s only one DBA, if they get promoted, who will do the work… Quickly find tasks to assign and keep them busy.
My example is to first accumulate personal skills, and then even if you don’t want to resign, you should go for interviews at big companies every one or two years. This is to check if your tech stack is outdated and to see if your salary matches your abilities. If you find that your tech stack is outdated, you need to find a way to update it. If you can pass the interview but the offered salary is similar to your current one, then it’s all good, and you can continue working at your current company. If there is a significant difference, then you might consider taking the opportunity to switch jobs.
First of all, the team is very important. There must be meaningful work suitable for promotion, otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to get promoted!
Build up knowledge, make connections, switch jobs for a raise, and start a side hustle!
Promotion: Accumulate knowledge, switch to a larger team. Raise: Learn, improve, change jobs.
Joining the company is the peak; the company never needs to focus on your skill improvement and career planning, making salary increases extremely difficult because the increase in tasks is either invisible or ignored.
Job-hopping is indeed the fastest way to get a promotion and a raise.
Promotions and salary increases are rare. How many of you have consistently received salary increases throughout your career?
Continuous learning and self-improvement are the foundations for promotion and salary increase.
