How to Get Promoted by Owning Your Departure

In this episode of Promotion Path with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore a counterintuitive promotion strategy: planning your exit. They examine how top performers use leverage from outside offers to accelerate internal promotions, drawing on a Harvard Business School study of 2,000 executives showing that those who actively networked for external opportunities were 34% more likely to earn a promotion within two years. Lucas breaks down the three-phase framework — prepare, signal, negotiate — and warns against common bluffs. Luna shares why even loyal employees should stay visible in the external market. The hosts discuss how to time a conversation with your manager, what data to bring, and how to gracefully accept a counteroffer without burning bridges. If you've ever worried that looking elsewhere will damage your reputation, this episode offers a concrete playbook for turning external interest into internal advancement. #CareerAdvice #JobPromotion #SalaryNegotiation #Counteroffer #CareerStrategy #ExitStrategy #JobSearch #Leverage #ExecutivePromotion #HBRStudy #CareerGrowth #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PromotionPath #LucasAndLuna #CareersPodcast #OfficePolitics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
