My manager told me that he nominated me for promotion.
Gradually promotion and pay raise is becoming not exciting topic, maybe it’s because my salary level is relatively high in Japan.
1M yen per year is not a big deal any more.
Funny thing is my mgr asked me to fill the slide deck for proposal of my promotion.
I assume it’s not usual, but anyway it’s for my promotion, so I’m happy to support to complete the proposal.
Promotion will need endorsements from mgr/Director from same or other department.
I could give heads-up to some mgr/directors in Japan since I have experience to talk with them in person, and having some close relationship.
But it’s a bit tough for me to give same kind of heads-up to same in India/other countries.
My Australian college sympathized with me. Maybe it’s related to cultural stuff.
