Stop waiting for recognition. Promotions happen when the business needs a role filled, not when you've earned it. Here's how to create the need.
At Staff+, a common promotion blocker is "business need."
So what agency do you have? Do you have to wait endlessly or jump ship (and start all over again)?
At these levels, you should *manufacture* business need.
Talk to your VPs. Not just in Engineering, but also in Sales, Marketing, Finance, etc.
Get a deep understand of the broad Problem Space. Invent new business opportunities.
Build a quick POC to test the value proposition and use the internal network that you built to get it off the ground.
Does this guarantee a promo?
Nope. But it's in your hands.
Worse thing off, you'll develop new skills.
