I’ve never been promoted, in 20+ years of working in software. Hadn’t fully realized it until I saw this thread & thought through all the ‘transitions’ I’ve been through. Every time I got more money, more responsibility, AND a different title, it was because I changed companies.https://twitter.com/kf/status/1081791425577021440 …
My experience is that in most companies you won't get promoted without asking for it. Even if you deserve to be promoted ... Waiting and working harder will not get you a promotion without really asking for it.
