From recent experience, it’s hit or miss. Really depends on your project. More importantly, your leader/ boss plays a large role in advocating for you. If you don’t have that, you’re screwed. Leaders go into meetings and discuss potential promotions...if you don’t have the advocacy of your boss, you have little chance. You’ll also need to self advocate and be willing to develop an internal brand, schmooze the cliques, and be very recognizable. Your work may be run of the mill, but extra effort spent selling others on how great you are seems to pay off.
