I have an internal interview for a potential promotion soon. Any tips on how I should treat it vs. a regular interview?

I have been in this situation! You sort of have to treat it like an external interview.

-prepare a list of projects you have worked on and their results
-prepare a list of things you have done that are above your pay grade
-prepare a list of why you are an asset to them

They also made me get written praise from coworkers but that might be too over the top. Good luck!

Thank you for this! It is very helpful. They did talk about getting praise from other coworkers as well, assuming it goes through

If you are getting promoted to oversee more people, have a continuity and growth plan for the team and yourself just in case they ask.

Taking a positive and humble outlook to the meeting is good as well.

Wow they're making you interview for a promotion? How about "convince me I shouldn't leave and require you to pay twice what you're paying for me to onboard someone new. Wouldn't it be easier if you just gave me a small fucking raise?"

Do I just make something else up entirely?

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
