Hi! So I have been promoted from intern to full time employee before and recently I was promoted from React Native developer to Software Engineer II, so I want to share some of my tips on how to get promoted. Here goes:
- During appraisal time, be sure to include all tasks that you did throughout the year in the document that they tell you to fill.
- Throughout the year, when you are free or have no tasks, be sure to let your manager know that you are free.
- Do online courses or upskill yourself in your free time.
- Attend tech events to know about the upcoming technologies.
- Read articles, books etc which are related to tech.
- Watch tech YouTube videos.
- Make small side software projects to keep the passion alive.
- Do any tasks which you get at work with diligence.
- If you are stuck in a task, seek help.
- Document everyday about what you did at work on that day.
- Help peers if they have any issues.
- Collaborate with other teams.
- Be sure to do all kinds of tasks like development, testing, documentation, bug fixing, migration, feature development, performance enhancement, etc.
- If your work requires you to learn new technologies, do so with flexibility.
