A guide to promotions and salary increases in large companies in January 2021

Guide to promotion and salary increase in large companies in January 2021 Resource introduction:

As a designer, especially a designer in a large company, you will inevitably face the issue of promotion.

For designers, promotion is to provide value-added and prove that they have the corresponding abilities for a higher position. For the company, promotion means that when students have stronger abilities and can convert their abilities into benefits for the company, the company can give you a higher position and more material rewards.

Therefore, the two most critical points for promotion are ability improvement and value supplementation, and our preparation work also revolves around these two points.

Course Content Hello, I am Huazai. Welcome to this course, join me in learning about career advancement.

In 2018, I opened a course on Geek Time, @"Learn Architecture from О". I share with you a complete set of architecture design methodology that I have accumulated through years of research and practice to help you improve your architecture design capabilities.

Why is architectural design ability so important? Because it is a necessary skill for technical personnel to be promoted to high levels, so later I also shared content such as how architects grow at occasions such as QCon. As expected, in addition to the improvement of my architectural capabilities, I was also asked a lot of questions about career advancement. Typical common problems are as follows:

☆

1. I am too busy with work and don’t have time to improve myself. I don’t know what abilities I should prioritize. Since I was not well prepared and had no confidence, I did not dare to apply for promotion even if there was an opportunity, fearing that I would be embarrassed in front of everyone. What should I do?

2. Colleagues around me who are similar to me or even worse than me have been promoted, while I am still standing still. I don't know how to play the game of promotion. Is there any so-called "hidden rules" behind it?

3. I received unanimous recognition from my leaders and colleagues, and went to the promotion defense with confidence, but it felt like I was trying to cook dumplings in a teapot, with the soup being ready but unable to pour it out. Moreover, my PPT looks like a running account or a hodgepodge, and my PPT presentation is like reading a text. When faced with questions from the judges, my brain often short-circuits. What should I do?

4. I completed my promotion defense with full confidence, but the judges determined that I did not meet the requirements. I am confused and don’t know what the specific requirements for the next level are. How can I impress the judges?

I have a say in promotions

These questions reminded me of my work experience over the years. I have been working in the software industry for 16 years and have served companies such as Huawei, UC, Alibaba, and Ant Financial. These companies have one thing in common, that is, they all have a complete promotion system.

In the process of "fighting monsters and upgrading" in these companies, I have actually encountered the problems you asked. Many team members have consulted me and even complained to me. To this end, I spent a lot of time researching and thinking about promotion, and coupled with many opportunities to practice, I gradually accumulated relatively rich promotion experience.

If I compare promotion to football, I can say that I have the experience of being a "player + coach + referee".

First of all, I was a "player". I was promoted from an ordinary programmer to P9 in Alibaba step by step, and all my promotions were passed in one try, so my promotion skills are very effective.

Secondly, I have also been a "coach". I have successfully guided many team members to be promoted from P6 to P7 and from P7 to P8, so I can fully understand the confusion and challenges faced by employees in different positions and levels when they are promoted, and gradually developed a promotion methodology that is suitable for most people.

Third, I have also been a "referee". I have been serving as a promotion judge since 2015. I have been responsible for promotion reviews at three levels: P6, P7 and P8. I have reviewed dozens of promotion candidates and worked with dozens of judges. This gave me a more diverse perspective and further deepened my understanding of the entire promotion system.

It is these experiences that have made me deeply understand why promotion is so difficult and why so many people are full of doubts about promotion. Because in essence, promotion is a systematic project, but no one has ever introduced it to you systematically, let alone explained it in depth.

Even large, mature companies have established relevant rules, systems, and processes, but most of them are just explanations of promotion rules and are filled with a lot of abstract and vague content. These documents are not very useful in guiding employees on promotions, which results in most people having a vague or even completely wrong understanding of promotions.
