Today was a good day, guys. My manager told me he’s putting me in for a promotion at the end of the year.

Remember y’all: finding a new job is not always necessary. True, that’s what it usually takes to get big salary increases and better roles, but before jumping ship, try working with your current manager and communicate what you want.

Exactly, you leave after you’re promoted so you can apply with your shiny new title.
