What’s your favorite career milestone that wasn’t a promotion? For me, it was the time a Sales VP called me looking for advice. That was when I realized I had earned a seat at the table.

That is really great to hear. This year I got a significant raise with no promotion. But they didn't want to lose me so they gave me a serious raise.

It sounds ridiculous when I say it, but one of the very high-ups knew me and the work I did on a project. To be a part of visible things is a huge part of opening doors.

That happens to me and I do take it as a compliment, but there is a dark side. It always leads others taking credit for my ideas. When I call them out on it, they experience a case of amnesia. So now, when my supervisor calls me into a meeting to “pick my brain”, i only share ideas in writing or follow up in writing so there’s a paper trail. I learned that the hard way.
