I don't know why I'd ever want a promotion, and I haven't ever got one. I did turn one down once. A promotion is like 5% more pay for way more work and a bunch of corporate bullshit along the way. If I want to move up I just change jobs.

My last promotion from level 3 to level 4 was a 50% increase in pay basically, with no change in responsibilities or scope.

That’s because you were already working at the next level. Your promotion was just a recognition of that.
