Episode 34: How to get promoted (Part 1)

Most people want to get promoted, make more money, and move up in their career, but very few understand how the process actually works. In this episode, we take a step back and look at promotions from a 30,000-foot view. We talk about how to view your current job the right way, why the role you have today is actually the training ground for the next level, and how people who rise through a company think differently about their work. Along the way we discuss concepts like the law of diminishing returns, the reality behind exponential growth in a career, and why most people stall out while a few accelerate. If you’ve ever wondered why some employees keep getting promoted while others stay stuck, this episode lays the foundation for understanding the game.
