2.  Everyone wants their career growth to be better along with the
year of experience the possess.
 We are never satisfied with our present; Human tendency in fact.
 Yeah, am speaking about that raise in the number in your salary
and that raise in the designation / position.
 Majority of us start worrying about appraisals in February or March
which is the primary mistake we do during appraisals and the
conclusion drawn is ‘change job’.

3.  Nowadays, only years of experience is not everything. Promotion
or salary doesn’t increase with experience.Your efforts and targets
speaks.
 We all are aware of the famous dialogue from the bollywood
movie 3 idiots “Life is a race… if you don’t run fast… you will be like
a broken andaa”.
 Similar case, is the career in IT or any industry for that matters.
 Expectations increases with efforts, competitions and previous
milestones and when the financial year ends or when the appraisal
cycle comes into the picture, a lot of questions and thoughts arise
in our minds:


5.  How will this year appraisals go?
 Will I get a better hike this time?
 I have not got promotion for a while.
 Would my boss recognize my efforts with a promotion or salary
raise.
 Am expecting x% of hike this year. if i don’t get x% better to take
the hike and search elsewhere.
 Although, we rarely think if we really deserve a Promotion or
Salary raise OR Is the work done really outstanding and great for
which i will get a raise ORWhat are the factors deciding whether
one deserves a Promotion or Salary raise.

7.  Given a Scenario, when an employee completes a task before the
deadline.
 Ideally, 80% of the employees would run away from office but
remaining 20% are those who ask for more task/responsibilities.One’s
approach to volunteer for extra work is a plus point itself to get
recognized.
 More over, if the extra job is completed quickly and efficiently in a
better approach then it’s like to add point in the checklist.
 Speak Out!! No one is going to come asking for your concerns. It’s you
who needs to take the initiative and ask for what you want. Hence,
don’t sit back and wish things would take your side. Money won't
shower out of the sky on anyone (employee’s at-least). Prepare a POP
(Proof Of Performance).

9.  Most importantly, learn every day; irrespective of
whether you have an interview or not but learn
something every day.
 Build an application / demonstrable model / small
project on your own which will help you to gain
hands-on experience.
 Attend training, master a programming skill or new
techniques and get certified. Companies prefer
candidates who are certified from reputed training
centers.

10.  Since last promotion or salary raise, make a list of all
the new skill-set you have learnt as well as all the
jobs and responsibilities you have taken up.
 Mention the benefits or the impact of your work to
the organization.
 Spot the unforeseen threat to the company and
solve it.You would surely be noticed; hence more
chances of promotion or salary raise.

11.  Convince the management to depend on you and
explain them how well you are ready for the next
position / designation.
 Take part in organizational activities, represent your
firm in social media or extra curricular activities outside
your office (say CSR initiative or competitions or
delivering presentations at various forums).

12.  Not to forget, maintain a good rapport with your clients,
boss and the team. Appreciations from clients are added
advantage and Needless to mention,Your work should force
them to do it and not use alternative tactics.
 Take up challenges and tasks which is taken by the people
designated with promotion you are looking for.This will
make yourself ready for the same.
 Update your skills and not to forget that they should align
the organization needs.

13.  If you satisfy the above qualities then you are surely
worth a promotion or an uptick in the salary.
 However, things might not turn on your favors
every-time. Remember! Nothing comes for FREE.
 Work hard and don’t be discouraged as HARD
WORK always pays. Also, do go through our blogs

15.  Why did you not get the Promotion or salary raise.
 What did you lack and how can you work towards the
same.
 Did your manager/SPOC have a road-map for you for that
year.
