I got a “dry” promotion at my last position, and obviously I took it. I then put my new title on my Resume, when job hunting for a few months and found a new position that came with a 20%+ pay raise.

I’m actually a big fan of promotions that don’t include raises, because it shows that your employer doesn’t actually value you as an employee, and enables you to get a much larger raise at a new company compared to whatever raise your current employer would’ve given you if they cared at all about retention.

This works great for highly educated white collars!

Not for the other 70%+ of the workforce though.

Why? Better resumé is a better resumé.

This is the way.

Always take the promotion. Then update the resume and start hunting.

Or skip step 1 and just lie on your resumé 😂

Preach it. I fought and fought to get my ASQs and CQEs (quality certs) as an automations guy. I worked in fda/dea/gmp environments with those systems so why they hell not. Took 2 years to finally get both and bailed immediately. Did all my bs six sigma bullshit along the way.

If it's a smash and grab for them then it's a smash and grab for me.
