S2 Ep32 - Top 5 Reasons to Seek Internal Promotion (Instead of Jumping Ship)
As end of year approaches, this is also the time many people start to consider their career moves. In this episode I bring you a quick, honest chat about why negotiating a promotion internally is often smarter than jumping to a new company — plus simple strategies to confidently ask for (and secure) the senior role you deserve. Key Takeaways Staying in your company gives you leverage because you already have trust, relationships, and a proven track record. Internal promotions let you negotiate more than just salary — including flexibility, leadership scope, and wellbeing benefits. Leaving a company means starting from zero again with no social capital or reputation equity. Senior leaders promote people who show long-term commitment and strategic thinking. You can grow faster internally because your work is already visible and valued. Preparing evidence of your impact (“receipts”) strengthens your promotion case. A promotion should always be framed as a business solution, not a personal desire. Booking a dedicated conversation with your boss makes the negotiation intentional, not awkward. Naming the role, responsibility level, and salary you want shows confidence and clarity. Leadership advancement isn’t luck — it’s a deliberate negotiation and a self-advocacy skill anyone can learn.
