Mistake #1: What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
This is so important, you should always check what is needed for the next level. And do that/be that!
Mistake #2: The Promotion Donut
Sometimes, when you focus on the next level, you start neglegting doing what is required from you really (Your actual job). And this is bad for promotion overall. Can be good/risky if you need to focus on things outside work.
Mistake #3: Your Manager Matters More Than Your Ability
Manager is so important in the equation. If he doesn’t help your promotion leave for another team.
