    Unless you are 9ne of the click you won’t get promoted. We had one person get a job as a genius because that person was involved with a good friend of the store leader and never worked in the technical side. Also people that aren’t strong in a position have gotten promoted because they are friends with the boss or in his/her click

    The promotion pathway from T1 to T2 can sometimes be quite rapid. However, promotions beyond the front-of-line technical support positions are few and far in between. My best advice: Be patient, always exceed expectations, have a great relationship with your manager, always network, do career experiences / rotations, and always keep an eye out for internal job postings.

    Very difficult. At Apple you're expected to do the work above your level to prove yourself ready for a promotion. But, when it's time to receive the promotion, budget restraints hold you back and you're asked to just continue completing the work while they sort it out. It's been over 2 years for me in that role.

    Very difficult. Upper management are has promotions predetermined before interviews. It’s all just for show if you actually are allowed to apply for a promotion
