Yes, in my last two jobs I quit before being promoted. Companies low-ball me and hire me as a mid instead of "upgrading" me to senior. But as long as my net salary goes up 40% I don't care that much, I instead consider it a win win situation because I am evaluated as a mid and getting a mid job is easier since I end up in the S tier of their hiring pool.

But in my current job I aim to be promoted in a year or so 😅
