Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

Friends,I am currently working as an oracle consultant, earning 23LPA . Total IT Experience 18 years. Looking to switch because I feel stagnant in salary and career growth. Updating Naukri profile does not help much. What are the other ways to approach recruiters? . Targetting to change my career path in 2025. Kindly advise .

Salary growth is stagnant because of longer stay.

I have been working at my current organization for 2.6 years and started with a CTC of ₹8 lakh, which has remained unchanged since my joining. During this period, I have not received any promotions or salary hikes, which has made me question whether I should wait for growth within the company or explore external opportunities.

I am hopeful of getting a promotion in June this year, but I am unsure if it’s worth waiting for. Here’s what I am considering:

1. Stay and wait for the promotion: There’s a possibility of career progression in June. Should I wait for it, considering the time and effort I have invested here?

2. Start looking for a new opportunity: I could begin exploring other organizations where I might receive a better salary, role, and career growth. However, leaving without securing my next promotion feels uncertain.

I would appreciate suggestion:

Whether I should wait until June or start looking for better option or if you have something else please tell me in comments

Stuck from 2.6 years without hike and promotion

Hi everyone,

I’m in a dilemma and need advice. I started as a system administrator in a small company, managing web hosting and servers for PHP websites on Linux with Nginx and Apache. After two years, I felt the need to grow and work in a team, so I switched to a junior system engineer role. Unfortunately, I didn’t research the job well and now find myself doing basic tasks for a foreign hosting company—essentially glorified chat support, slightly above entry-level tasks, with flexible shifts I struggle to adjust to.

I feel stuck and disappointed. I have an AWS certification and solid experience with Linux and web hosting, but I’m unsure about my next steps. How hard is it to transition into DevOps? Are there roles focused solely on AWS? What career path should I aim for and what skills should I prioritize? I’d really appreciate any guidance.

Thank you!

So, there’s this colleague who seems to be going behind my back. They’re emailing the line manager and complaining about everything I do, decisions, situations, even my work. It feels like they’re keeping tabs on me just to criticize.

What’s the best way to deal with someone like this? Should I confront them or just keep doing my thing?
