The Developer’s Handbook: Thriving When Promotions Don’t Exist

Ever felt stuck because your org doesn’t have a traditional ladder?

I just published a concise guide that shows you how to own your growth without waiting for a new title. Here’s a taste of what you’ll find:

• Define your own “growth” – skill, impact, and visibility goals.
• Quarterly roadmaps – pick a focus, set a success metric, iterate.
• Mentor hunting – peer, cross‑team, or reverse mentors.
• Showcase wins – weekly updates, monthly demos, internal blogs.
• Stretch assignments – treat them like mini‑promotions.
• Reflect & iterate – monthly reviews, quarterly reflections, leader check‑ins.
