Can I ask for a promotion if I’m consistently outperforming my role?
Yes, if you’re regularly exceeding expectations, it’s reasonable to ask for a promotion.
If you’ve been consistently outperforming in your current role and taking on responsibilities beyond your job description, you can absolutely request a promotion. Start by gathering evidence of your accomplishments, metrics, and ways you’ve added value to the team. Prepare a strong case for how your skills match the next level, and suggest how you’ll continue to contribute in the new role. Approach your manager with this proposal during a performance review or a scheduled meeting. Highlighting your results and growth will increase the chances of receiving a positive response.
