Why Some People Get Promoted and Others Dont

Good Performance Reviews

This is what everyone is looking for. Everyone. Someone to take and carry the load.

No need to promote anyone in the EOL’d (End of Life)  products department.

Schmoozing is a turn-off. Instead, as you Demonstrate Leadership, also positively (never negatively) engage with your peers and colleagues outside of your small group.

Yes, I know selling up sometimes “works” in Big Companies, but it doesn’t really get you promoted  — and really it’s a sign you are weak. 

I don’t mean that completely literally (but yes, dress a little better than the rest, it can’t hurt).  I mean act and carry yourself like someone that cares. 

Even if you do everything right, there can only be so many promotions. 

Ask your boss how and what it will take to get promoted. 

Again, promotion in Big Cos and tech companies of any scale is about leadership, and in many cases, management.
