Stuck from 2.6 years without hike and promotion
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

Yaar, 2.6 years without a hike toh frustrating hota hoga... What’s stopping them from promoting you?
Did you talk to your manager about it?

Why not update your resume and start exploring while you wait? June tak options toh pata chal jayenge.

June tak rukne ka plan sahi hai agar tumhe lagta hai ki tumhara promotion sure shot hai. But ek backup plan banake rakho

It’s amazing that you’re considering all your options so thoughtfully....Have you thought about how this might impact your long-term goals?

Getting a new job in this market is quite tough. So I'd suggest you to start looking for one immediately. A job switch will give you everything that you mentioned you need - Promotion, hike and career progression.

I would say start it with having a 1:1 with your manager, be transparent on your thoughts and ask for feedback and what made him think that you don't need a hike... If he runs away from 1:1, remind him 3 times, if he still doesn't, politely talk to your skip level
