2 months ago, my boss and his boss came up to me stating they want me to get the CISSP so I can be promoted in September. I studied for 4-8 hours a day for 4 weeks straight and passed the CISSP.
I ask what the situation is looking like and they stated, “we had some things come up, your raise and promotion won’t be available until next year.” They’ve added the responsibilities already to my role with a verbal promotion when end of year reviews happen. They also told me, “don’t go waiving your CISSP around to other companies, we want you here.”
On top of this, I’m supposed to get a few thousand bucks in a bonus and they’re dragging feet getting that done as well.
One of the reasons I got this gig was due to the potential of moving up in the company and it seemed promising. The company is pretty stingy on raises, I don’t see myself getting more than a $15k bump in 6 months and I know I can get more elsewhere. I have 7 years experience with a master’s in cyber and now a CISSP.
Does this group think I should stay put and be patient or start throwing my application to places. I’ve been a cyber analyst for a while and want to start cracking into the management side.
