TLDR: You Won't Be Promoted Unless You Ask

Date: 2025-05-16 Source: https://arpitbhayani.me/blogs/promotions-are-proactive-not-reactive

Overview

Chasing promotions is important, but it shouldn't consume all your energy. Even if it's your main focus, that's okay. Just make sure you're also growing, doing work you're proud of, and finding peace in what you do.

Key Points

  • wait, it could be a genuine case where roles aren’t open
  • have a firm conversation up the ladder and pitch again
  • look for growth opportunities in adjacent teams

Takeaway

Just make sure you are also growing, doing work you are proud of, and finding peace in what you do.
