1. If your function (profession) is not primary for this type of business, you will not grow.
The profession is a derivative of business. Each industry has its own key professions. In one case, finances are a driver, in the other - service. Somewhere marketing is a driver, somewhere (heavy industry, for example)-a half-dead function. If you learn to see the relationship between functions and industries, you will understand how to grow up faster.
2. If you do not raise the question of your increase, no one else will do this for you.
there are employers who initiate an increase for your merits themselves, but this is a great luck and rare. If you want to be raised, talk about it. And do not just say, but show your influence on business on numbers, negotiate about the conditions.
3. If you do not like your profession, a miracle will not happen.
If you hate what you are doing, you will not want to devote more time to this than the work week. You will not read/watch something on your topic at your leisure. You will not notice someone’s theses and think “oh, but you can apply it in that project.”
And without additional growth efforts it does not happen, so that the Work-life Belance witnesses that are enlightened by retrites. But these additional efforts will be made by some Vasya from your department, to which his profession is high.
