Tracking And Hacking Your Career
summary
Keeps a running hype list of accomplishments with one‑sentence summaries, impact metrics and links, records work in weekly notes and project design docs, and uses retros and FigJam for postmortems. Peer reviews run about 3–5 people, promotions use a deconstructed career ladder and a “why now” thesis, managers stress‑test packets at calibration, and concrete metrics (example: 50% of customers using a feature) decide promotions more than vague topics.
