I want to leave my company after 2 years contract. My boss mentioned that I'll receive a promotion and pay raise after the 2 years. Should I tell him about my plans if I want to leave on a good note?

Hi Anon,

I don't have a crystal ball...

Is your boss going to be around 2 years from now?

So, either you get a promotion and new responsibilities that makes your job less of soul-sucking situation, or you simply leave and do something more meaningful with your time, energy and youth :)

As you posted in 2018, it has been almost 1.5 years now. I hope you've made some changes to your professional life!

Cheers,

Pascal

No, you shouldnt tell him. Even better if u can leave after u get a promotion, that will make your resume look nice (better title and higher base starting salary). Many bosses makes empty promises, so dont put your hopes too high too. Anyway 2 years is a long time, alot things still can change by then.

Just focus on now. Is there anyway to improve on your current work condition? Or is there any meaningful things u can do? Eg do u have any ideas or project u can suggest to your boss?
