Positioning yourself for a promotion and initiating the conversation requires thoughtful preparation and a shift in view point.
In our panel discussion "How-To: Promotion Conversation" our panelists Allie Marconi (GitLab), Carolyn Manuel (AlphaSense), and Katie Capuzzo (WISE) shared ways on how you approach a promotion conversation with your manager.
Here are some key takeaways to guide you in your professional journey.
Ship, shipmates, self.
While it's important to advocate for yourself, reframing the conversation around business needs is key when seeking a promotion. Can you take on more and drive a bigger impact? Does your unique skillset translate well to a strategic project? Can you help level-up your peers?
Share your goals often.
New opportunities and resulting decisions can happen quickly. Stay top of mind by constantly expressing your intent and longer term goals. Ask your manager about growth areas and ways you can help support their priorities.
Talking dollars and cents.
Prepare by understanding industry benchmarks and ways your impact is tied to the company's success. While you deserve to be compensated accordingly, be sure to handle these conversations with care.
