Yep. Promotion? WTF. No, you weasel your way into duties "above" your pay grade then go get the job you've been doing, with accompanying title and pay, someplace else. Or you can wait around for an opening in your company and hope the right people know your name so you get it. If you prefer gambling. But jumping ship works better. [EDIT] OK in case anyone uses this as a playbook, be aware you may need an intermediate step at some company desperate for [your new role] with below-average pay so you can have The Actual Title for a while before moving to a place with normal pay, but the good news is below-average for your next step is probably at or above what you're already making anyway, so NBD. Just be sure their pay's below average because they're a funded-but-not-crazy-funded startup and not because they're terrible, though. For whatever reason low pay also seems to go with shitty working conditions and overwork. Go figure. And make sure they're likely to stay in business minimum a year, with two being better.
