Moving up or moving out
Be a bit Machiavellian, blow your own horn. Network and schmooze. Create your own brand and promote it. Do self-promotion. Position yourself as being ready for the next step up. Don’t work too hard to become “invisible” making people think working in your current role is the best for the company (them). Make yourself known to the people in power and show how you can be of service. Fit in with the culture. Don’t actively help your competitors get ahead of you. Hoard your assets and use them at the moment of maximum impact. Keep your momentum and quickly leverage any success to move up.
