"Lock in your Promotion"
A 4-week sprint to lock in your promotion in 2025.
Getting promoted 6-12 months sooner usually means an additional earning of $100K-350k.
Let's just use the public numbers from levels.fyi. An average Amazon L5 makes $310k, and L6 makes 470k-510k. Difference of at least $160K/yr. If you manage to get promoted only 6 months faster, that's at least an additional $80,000.
Promotions are either a bit too late or a bit too soon. I will help you accelerate your promotion. You will take concrete action, uncover gaps, present your story convincingly, and gather promotion support in 4 weeks.
Why Krishna?
Krishna has been there done that, hundreds of times. As head of engineering at Amazon and startups, Krishna has promoted and approved promotions for hundreds of engineers and managers. Krishna is trusted and highly reputed thought leader with a big following on Linkedin.

Lock in your promotion in 2025.
- You will strategically identify your promotion supporters and collect strong testimonials.
- You can get email and 1:1 paid support on-demand from Krishna if you ever feel stuck.

The biggest reason your promotion is delayed is because:
1) You procrastinate, advocating for yourself and writing down your achievements.
2) You are unsure if your work meets the bar.
3) You are stuck in a dead end team/project. You work on the wrong stuff. Are stuck doing work that does not get you promoted.
4) You do not have people at the next level who will write a strong promo feedback.
5) You don't align the timeline with your manager.
6) You are stuck with a wrong/lazy/selfish manager.
You know you must change something, but you feel stuck in the system. You have been putting this off till you have more time. But you keep getting busier.
Why work with Krishna vs trying to DIY :
1) Because it’s an asymmetric bet. The stakes are reasonably high(80k-120k) and your inaction is already losing you money every day.
2) Because you are more likely to procrastinate because of the ambiguity and discomfort. The same reason you have not done it already.
3) Because Krishna has promoted people several times over and you will avoid all the common traps.
This Sprint is for you if:
01
You are ambitious; want to grow faster than average. You like being proactive and take control of your promotion timeline.
02
You feel your current work assignments will not get you the fast promotion you are capable of. You are doing busy work.
03
You feel you have made some progress on your promotion but are uncertain on your timeline.
04
You need help expanding the scope of your work to meet the promotion criteria. Or you need help to showcase your work to get more responsibility from your manager.

I would highly encourage everyone to attend Krishna's Program. It not only changed my mindset on day to day thinking but it paved a clear pathway for future. For my case, he has been real Krishna for the Arjun who have been in the battlefield seeking for answers.

The coaching sessions were well structured and included actionable homework that helped me apply what I learned in my work-life scenarios and gain quick wins. I have been better able to influence my peers and my team in a way I thought was once not possible.

I recommend Krishna's Bootcamp as a must attend bootcamp for early to mid career professionals. It is a one of a kind learning experience. He has distilled career management into a "recursive algorithm" which can be applied at any career stage to create an upward spiral.

Krishna's bootcamp lives up to its name.
First week, after the activities I was more confused than I started because I now had more choices than before. Later I learned that this was by design.
Krishna gave a helping hand as we were making those hard design choices. Through the hard choices we landed with clarity and direction!

The highlight was the extremely engaging discussions with peers in the cohort which had both managers and ICs. There were a lot of 'aha' moments for me and I can already see a difference in my growth at work.
There will definitely be some golden nuggets.
