Am I ready for a promotion, or do I just want one?

I want to move from to . Ask me up to six questions, one at a time, about what the next level is expected to do where I work, what I’ve delivered in the last year, and who has seen it. Then look at my case the way a manager would if they had to defend it to people who don’t know me. Give me a one-page case: three claims, each with the evidence I gave you, written so I could say them out loud. Then the two gaps that manager would raise, and what would close each within six months. If my evidence is thin, say so plainly, and say what you’re assuming about how my workplace decides. Don’t tell me I deserve it. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
