This resonates with me and generally my experience. Your last questions are so crucial, specifically "Have you already been working at the level of your next promotion?". I invite anyone reading this article to focus on operating at the next level already. Make the promotion so obvious they have to give it to you. Work with your manager to find out how you can prove already you can operate at the next level.
Even if you end up having to look for that role elsewhere, you have your next level delivery on your resume which should help with the conversation. Good luck to everyone on this journey for growth!
I've been managing managers (Team Leaders) for almost 3 years and it's quite a change!
You focus more on strategy and less on coding and tactics. You no longer have a team. Your first team is now your peers. Those questions at the end are key!
