Description:

Moving up the career ladder is not easy, requesting a promotion can be daunting and stressful, especially given the current economic climate and uncertainty. Whether you are in a startup business or multinational company, similar rules apply. We interviewed Shamayun Miah, a senior executive in the tech industry with extensive experience in management consulting. He has spent the last twenty years advising clients on digital transformation, AI, automation, cloud and digital business models. As a senior executive he shared valuable insight into what it takes to get promoted with us.

“It was a tough decision, but you did not make it; we only had one role and had to give it to Joe, but next year I am sure it will be you,” “We are in a pandemic, and things are uncertain so not a good time for promotion,” “You have massive potential, be patient, your time will come, next year definitely!” Sounds familiar?

Unfortunately, the most talented, hardworking people are not always the ones to get promoted. Getting promoted is hard; it requires a focused campaign and development plan. Sadly, promotions are not always based on merits alone; politics play a part in some corporate culture, so be aware, be streetwise and understand what motivates the company.

You need to do many things to move up the career ladder. Sometimes it is about taking on extra assignments or responsibilities at work. Other times it is about networking with people who can help your career.

Here are some tips from Shamayun Miah that could help you move up the career ladder:

Think long-term and don’t neglect your career ambitions; promotion is undoubtedly essential but not the final destination. Instead, think about what you want to do and what will intellectually challenge you.
