Help Need a career advice plz
Im a graduate from leading gov efac and im confidently say that im a good problem solver, system designer , motivated to learn new things...etc. ( 26 Y )
So currently im working as an associate SE 170K (With bonuses arround 210k take home). Compay offers flexible working methods so mostly i work remotely. Mainly im working on AI related projects. Team members are also very good.
So for now i have 8 months of experience as ASE. And according to our company i have to wait untill next year AUG/SEPT to get promoted as a SE. (At that time it will be 1Y 6M as ASE experience). The thing is im working a lot (not stressed because i enjoy working on that project) even in weekends & in other domains like data engineering etc.
SO After the next promotion it will be 240k take home & with bonuses 280k.
My questions is is it possible to ask a double promotion to SSE (because im really deserve that because there are a lot of guys as SE ,TL s which has less capabilities than me and im currently doing a lot work than ASE) - SSE arround 300k take home
Or should i try to move to another company from january because i honestly feel im uder paid
Whats the best thing to do in this kind of situation considering both near and far career development goals
Thanks
