Frequently Asked Questions

When is the right time to ask?

After 2 quarters of documented scope above your band, just before the comp cycle. See the performance season guide (/guides-performance-season.html).

What evidence wins?

Scope beyond your job description, quantified team results, and peer leadership. The band language matters: write in band terms.

What if the answer is no?

Request written targets for the next level with dates. A documented growth contract is a promotion plan, not a promise.
