Learn The Rules Before You Play
- You don't have to play every game, but if you choose to, learn its rules first.
- Play intentionally and aim to win without compromising your integrity.
Partner Track Schmoozing Example
- At many firms, face time and schmoozing materially increase promotion odds.
- Skipping those social pillars reduces your real chance even if your work is excellent.
Remote Work Face-Time Tradeoff
- Remote permission can hide an unstated truth: in-office employees get more promotions.
- Choosing remote is valid, but accept the trade-off or move to a fully remote employer.
