It seems to me that at some points in one's career, we need to sell ourselves to the management.

By selling I mean trying to describe how awesome we are and deserve to advance to the next step in the ladder.

Is there a way to achieve this without going overboard, appearing conceited and have it essentially backfiring to you?

Is there any subtleties that should be taken into account?



I hope that the way I phrased this question it is not subjective.

I assume that people that went up the ladder have specific things that "tick" them off in either direction

  • One of the general Stack Exchange criteria for a too broad question is that a book could be written for the answer. In this case, that's definitely true. I'd recommend Debugging Teams (aka Team Geek) by Fitzpatrick and Collins-Sussman, but YMMV.
