I did my own promo packet at a large tech company and it was the most depressing, demoralizing experience I ever had. The packet had 10's of things mentioned in it to provide evidence for and I felt I have done 2-3 big projects and I'm mentioning same thing for every line item but that was because we don't produce one line item worth of evidence in one project. Eng promotions at large tech companies are the most de-humanizing, de-moralizing things ever. I got promoted but I felt my morale took a huge dip after starting promo process as compared to before.
