What does a PMTS actually do? Do they have to work 24X7? What is expected from a SMTS to be eligible to get promoted to PMTS?
I was a CMTS at Oracle over 13 years ago. Got there through ten years after starting as a new grad. Compared to many tech companies, Oracle is pretty chill. But it trades off in low comp and general not giving two sh*ts about engineers.
Yes I am being paid half of industry standard and they don't care about career growth.
Work 24x7 and have the right connections. SMTS to PMTS should be relatively straightforward. Are you at flight risk ? You can use that as leverage.
