I've never been or witnessed anyone get promoted except by job transfer, and have thought for quite some time that "the promotion is dead." I've only seen very small raises, usually cost of living adjustment type things, and everything I've seen has confirmed that the lateral move is the only route to advancement in the software industry.
Of course others here have different stories, so YMMV. It may depend on where you're working and in what kinds of companies.
- lgunsch 11y agoI have had a similar experience, and also met many people with similar experiences. I have had exactly 2 advancements in my 5 year career. One was a cost of living increase (actuallyl slightly less then that), but only after I complained numerous times. The second was when I switched companies to a new position.
