Added "senior" to my title today

A way of giving you a promotion without giving you one?

Did it at least come with a pay rise?

Congrats brah

Is it really a promotion if there's no pay rise?

I hope to get Senior title when I hit 10 years in the industry... 2 or so years to go. Then hopefully people will take my resume seriously ffs

Just add it now anyway.

When I was 17 I was the product relocation specialist for the largest supermarket brand in Australiasia

Feel free to buy my RB28 instead Birds, lol.

[Birds]

I'm not a masochist thank you

[Kinkstaah]

The RB26 tax on that build was unreal. Two in a row asking for 28-30k for an engine.

Maybe I'll put 26 rocker covers on it and up the price by 15K. Throw in some free VCT or something.

Nah like I want to have it on my email signature etc. Boss can charge me out at a higher rate and I can get paid more

Just add it anyway, what's stopping you?

Nah, it's a proper gig. moving to Camberwell Business Banking Centre too.

 

They came to the table financially, but I took the job on the provision that I move upwards when the next opportunity is there so that's the real motivation

I want to get out of technical work and go into an I.T PM role before becoming a 'senior' don't think I've got it in me to continue down the tech path forever. 

No one wants to listen to a 27 y/o boss them around though, I still gotta do some courses too to get in the door

My boss, because he charges me out to my job title.
When I first started in small business I was barely 6 months out of my time, so added a junior title, boss said get rid of it or clients will think they should pay discounted for a "junior"

[emts]

PM role is a excellent step into management.

Just have to be very Patient and calm as they do yet yelled at and blame dumped on them often. If you can deal with that pressure go for it.

To start with you would look like a jackass who thinks they are better than their Peers.

Better to go to the boss direct discuss your reason for being promoted and if there things still to cover off build a plan to get there.


that said if your going to lie on your signature why stop at just Snr might as well go CTO or similar.
