@nibor but then I can't do this almost every year right? Idk if it's me or my luck, I always start off with a good manager, then that manager either goes to a different team or a company and then I end up having a manager who hates everything and have to start from scratch to build up relationship with him/her/they :(

If your current manager does not promote / increase your compensation, and after talking about it still doesn't...
Then it is time to search for the next place, and that is advancement.
Yes - you will need to build the relationships from scratch, but that is a good thing, not bad. -
@magicMirror makes sense I guess, I just hope on my CV it doesn't look like I'm just jobhopping (some recruiters pointed out it looks wierd but then want me to job hop to their job posting in less than a year? Super wierd)

@pandasama
Tell them that you are not willing to continue with a bad boss, and that you honstly tried to make it work. The only solution is to search for a better place.... -

I understand that to get a promotion or a level boost you should try to do duties far above your level to show you can do more.
But what if your manager deems that the expectation? What if they don't believe your work is really above your level, and find your lack of domain knowledge compared to someone who's worked for 4 years a restriction from getting promoted? And also what if you can't get involved on projects to increase the domain knowledge you specifically lack (we have a service we don't develop for but own and get pages and resolve incidents for it, and it's an ancient one without good docs).
I just want advice on what should one do to be able to get a promotion at this stage
