Sometimes the budget is used for unnecessary things or maybe used wrongly, I would suggest using the budget carefully and maybe taking feedback from employees on what they would require to be done with it. This way it's employee employee-first approach.

Their leadership and upper management. Also there is so much of unnecessary team politics. And the work is very redundant, nothing much to learn in analytics side of Salesforce. Just keep completing those stakeholders requirements without knowing why are we doing it.

Getting promotions can be extremely difficult. Your total years of experience hold little value. If the interviewer likes you, you might secure a high position with minimal experience. Conversely, if the feedback is unfavourable, you might end up in a low position despite having extensive experience.
