Should I take the promotion?
A promotion can bring more money and opportunity, but it can also bring more pressure, longer hours and responsibilities you do not actually want.
Think through my promotion decisionCompare more than salary
- Pay and benefits
- Actual increase in responsibility
- Hours, flexibility and commute
- Skills and career progression
- Support, expectations and management
- Whether the role moves you toward the career you want
Ask what happens if you say no
The alternative is part of the decision. Staying in your current role, negotiating the offer or looking elsewhere may all be legitimate options.
