Why this template works
LinkedIn's career ladder runs from Level 3 through Level 9 for ICs, with a parallel management track. The Level 4 to 5 (Senior) and Level 6 to 7 (Principal) jumps are the hardest, requiring demonstrated cross-team influence and strategic impact.
LinkedIn runs performance reviews and promotion calibrations twice a year. Managers write promo cases and present them in calibration sessions. Decisions are aligned across the organization through cross-functional review.
LinkedIn's culture values trust, care, and transformation. Promotion cases should show how you've built trust with stakeholders, cared for your team, and driven transformative outcomes - not just individual execution.
