>You will never get a promotion or raise if there's no formal performance review process and career ladder.
That is total BS. I had promotion multiple times just because business owner liked me and valued my work.
>You have to be performing at the next level for several months
Total BS too. Maybe in India.
> VISIBILITY
This one is not BS!
I have seen many many developers without any rise - just because they do not attend any meetings, they look like bumps(no suits!), and those who do not talk much with their own boss or boss above...
When I manage to do something BIG - i make sure that my boss, his boss, and boss above KNOWS that we tried hard and delivered. It's not a shame to brag about real accomplishments :)
In that way I received 32% pay-rise in past 2 years.
