EP9: Your Code Isn’t Enough - How Software Engineers Actually Get Promoted
Update: 2025-05-25
Description
In this episode of Beyond the Build, we’re diving deep into what it really takes to get promoted as a software engineer. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about writing good code.
We break down how to think about promotions through the lens of impact, influence, and ownership, the pillars that often separate engineers who stay stuck from those who move up. You’ll learn what’s typically expected at each level, how to work with your manager (instead of just hoping they notice you), and why aligning with business priorities matters more than most engineers realize.
Whether you're feeling stuck, eyeing the next level, or just want to better understand the game behind the growth, this episode is for you.
