Did you build the groundbreaking platform solo or did you and a team build it? Is it truly groundbreaking on its own merit or is this a personal adjective? If you are part of a team and you are putting in long hours where other team members (çloser to bosses ear) are not, you may brew issues. Pull others in, delegate, share some credit, involve the team. How well have you self-promoted this groundbreaking (yuge claim btw) platform outside of your own team? Does anyone else at the company know your name or are you the "guy in the basement carrying/justifying three positions with your output"? It is very tough to catch rec in a large org where everyone is pitted against eachother for promotions. Some ideas are: 1. Be careful touting your hours worked as a metric for promotion. Sometimes you look like a sucker rather than a leader deserving promo. Also toutimg hours automatically makes coworkers appear bad. If they have the managers ear, you tell me how this goes. 2. Consider the word "promotion". If your looking to a manager to "promote you", make it easy for him/her by promoting yourself first. Show other groups/team members this project. Become a trainer. Shake hands and kiss babies accross your org. Let them have no option but to speak your name in conjuction with this groundbreaking platform. Im in a similar boat. The above are some things ive done to stand out and be promoted. Lots of groundwork over 3-4 years.
