Overview

  • In her July interview with Business Insider, Bonacolta said promotions often follow once employees are already operating at the level above their current position.
  • She asks “What are my responsibilities at my current level?” and “How would they change one level up?” to map performance expectations.
  • She recommends four tactics: take on senior tasks like presenting to leadership, ensure work visibility with decision-makers, choose roles that match personal interests and maintain excellence in core duties before extra projects.
  • Bonacolta’s method drove five LinkedIn promotions in six and a half years and remains integral to her work at Google since 2022.
  • She cautions that neglecting main responsibilities for side initiatives can lead to burnout and stall career progress.
