I’m learning the differences between startup promotions and FAANG as we speak and this all seems to ring true, thanks for the post!

Love this!

It would be great to see a bit more detailed structured layout on what the Self-review and Peer-review would look like.

At one of the startups I used to work for they used to use https://www.leapsome.com/

Could be a good piece to add the layout of the top companies. I'll consider adding it in the future

Completely agree with this, having spent 30+ years in big organisations. For first time promotions, visibility to get panel hacking is really helpful, because otherwise the panel don’t really know your history going in to the review and will be less inclined to grant the promotion, even if you think you’re doing the role already and they should just rubber stamp it. Don't get frustrated, find out who is on the panel and schmooze them one to one.

Why can’t I edit my own comments, Substack? Hmm? Anyhow .... backing, not hacking!
