How to get a promotion you're supposed to first go out of your way to do extra work they should hire for for no additional pay. I tried it at 2 jobs, both times I ended up doing the extra work for no pay for years before I left.
Meanwhile, every year, the yearly raise is less than inflation.
That strategy is valid but doesn’t work for most, because it assumes (1) a relatively high comfort level with selling your own skills, and (2) enough knowledge of local talent / labor market to realize what you can ask for. That’s a skill set you’d expect from an experienced consultant, not the average W2 employee, and if you swing and miss, or fail to swing at all, many struggle to pump the brakes and end up shouldering the additional responsibility without additional compensation.
Hence the common rule of beginning the hunt for your next job right away if you desire growth. Your manager probably won’t just promote you, so you have to promote yourself.
