Professional Pull Request: How to Promote Your Work Internally
summary
How to increase internal visibility at a ~1,000‑person company (≈900 engineers) by turning work into concrete career markers like skills, promotions, and contacts. The approach rests on three pillars—communication, initiative, and networking—and recommends actions such as giving a 15‑person internal talk, posting on LinkedIn and the company social feed, volunteering for cross‑team projects, and sending regular progress emails to your manager; two brief success examples are given (a Google Cloud trip and a raise after proposing process fixes).
