How One Employee Got Promoted by Building a Career Lattice

In this episode of The Promotion Memo with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how a mid-level marketer named Priya at a 500-person SaaS company mapped out a career lattice instead of a traditional ladder. She identified adjacent roles, built skills in analytics and product marketing, and earned a promotion to a hybrid role that didn't exist before. Lucas breaks down the lattice concept, the four-step process Priya used, and why this approach is gaining traction in flat organizations. Luna shares a contrasting example of a colleague who got stuck chasing a single vertical promotion, highlighting the risks of ladder-only thinking. The episode also touches on how to sell a lattice move to your manager and the importance of internal visibility. If you're feeling stuck in a role with no upward path, this episode offers a concrete alternative: expand sideways to move forward. #CareerLattice #Promotion #CareerGrowth #SaaS #Marketing #SidewaysMove #HybridRole #SkillsDevelopment #InternalMobility #EmployeeAdvancement #CareerStrategy #LadderVsLattice #Visibility #ManagerBuyIn #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #ThePromotionMemo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
