181. How to Get Promoted

MP3•Episode home

We tackle the controversial claim that "if career growth matters, 100% remote is a trap," exploring whether physical presence in an office truly impacts your ability to advance professionally. Through personal experiences and practical advice, we dissect when remote work might limit opportunities and when it's irrelevant to career progression.
• Remote work may create a ceiling specifically for executive-level advancement, not necessarily for mid-level promotions
• The most crucial factor isn't location but having explicit conversations with managers about growth expectations
• Timing career conversations strategically is essential – approach after successful projects when management is receptive
• Promotions happen when you consistently perform at the next level, not because of time served
• Creating a quantifiable framework for advancement removes the subjectivity from promotion decisions
• Management paths require a different mindset than individual contributor roles – consider carefully before choosing this direction
• Being proactive about creating visibility opportunities can help remote workers overcome some visibility challenges
