Accepting a promotion
Take promotion even if it won’t come with a raise. Better to get a promotion with no salary increase than a salary increase with no promotion. Deal with the downsides. Tolerate that the boundary of work time and private time become blurred. Endure leaving an OK manager for bad one (or a bad one for worse). Make sure you have an exit strategy in case you would not be happy with your new position. Boost your resume and extend your network. Use title and connections to move on to jobs you actually want to do.
