The Agency Marketer's Guide To Career Development

Or should you stay?
It isn’t always necessary to leave your current job to get a pay rise or to learn new
skills. You might be surprised at how willing your manager is to help you reach your
goals.
Let your manager know how you feel about things, and where you’d like to be –
even if that’s in a role that doesn’t currently exist at your company, or in another
department.
You might be tempted to threaten your boss with a job offer you’ve received from
somewhere else. This really isn’t a good idea – not only because it can ruin good
working relationships, but because it can backfire further down the line when the
things that frustrate you now raise their heads again and your employer feels over a
barrel to keep you.
Rather set a time to discuss your role and performance. Come armed with a list of
your accomplishments and how you have impacted the business in your current role.
Then be calm and level-headed about stating your case.
It’s also a good idea to help your manager prepare for the meeting by sending some
highlights through before the meeting.
Either way, never stop learning.
