I’m in a sales support role and almost always receive very positive feedback in my 1:1 meetings with my bosses and during my more formal year end reviews, but I can’t help but feel like I’m stuck or I’m missing something that’s stopping me from getting to the next level. Would love any general advice on showing I’m ready to be promoted beyond sharing my desire to be when the situation is appropriate. Thanks!

Do you work on highlighting your accomplishments and getting recognized for them regularly? That might help with a promotion. It seems like you're owed one at this point.

If I’m being honest, I need to be more self promotional. I feel awkward taking credit when other people are involved, but I know I need to. I know a lot of people talk highly of me, but that doesn’t seem to translate into upward mobility or even a conversation where it’s made known that I’m pegged for growth.

Ask for additional responsibility, take on / create special projects that would add value to the team, shadow people in the role above you

Good advice, thanks!

Document your contributions so you remember to highlight them when the time is right. Make sure to have career progression discussions during the one on one even if your supervisor doesn’t bring them up. Ask what you can do to get to the next level. Also make sure the team you want to be a part of is aware that you want to be considered for any openings and shadow or ask for advice.

Awesome! Thanks k you!!

Highlight your achievements more frequently, try asking for more responsibility and let your bosses know that you're expecting a promotion. Also, start exploring new opportunities and become active on LinkedIn and other similar platforms.

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.

Hi all. I’m looking for a referral at Roland Berger in Canada regarding an open role. This is a long shot but can anyone provide an introduction? Happy to share details over PM.

Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
