What to know to get promoted quickly in Big Tech

&gt; Error establishing a database connection<p>Know database connections to get promoted quickly in Big Tech!

The original title was &quot;What you should know about how corporations work&quot; and that made a lot more sense. There is very little about promotions in the article.

&gt; If you work in the part of the company chasing one of the top 6 initiatives of the CEO, you’ll usually get promoted fast if you do well. You’ll also get paid a lot.<p>Sure, but those initiatives can suddenly change when the CEO changes or when the CEO changes strategy. Whole divisions can get shut down overnight.

I like the bit about the CEO. He&#x27;s the one you should be dealing with _directly_ should the shit hit the fan. Not the HR department, not your line manager. They&#x27;re just peons. Also keep in mind the CEO might be concealing all sorts of stuff from the board. Wish I had known this years ago. Excellent article.
