I have two questions about promotions and how MBA admissions view them:
1.) Does a promotion from an Engineer Level 1 to an Engineer Level 2 count as a promotion (the job title changes from Engineer Associate to Engineer and typically takes 1.5 to 2 years)?
2.) How many promotions should you be aiming for before applying to business school? I know that not all promotions are the same (with some simply being nominal and other with increasingly substantive responsibilities), but what about with respect to the engineering promotions mentioned in the first question?
Thank you.

Hi,
Answering as per my point of view:
1. Promotion will be considered good if it is given below the average time in company gives.
2. There is no rule on number of promotions for business schools. You need to show achievements.
For ex.- If you apply for MBA in 2 year work ex, the maximum promotion will range in 0-2 in general terms.

Hi 2118kool,
let me address your questions.
1. From an HR perspective, a promotion is a change (upwards) in the job title. In your case, going from Engineer Associate (Engineer Level 1) to Engineer (Engineer Level 2) will be considered a promotion.
2. There is no such thing as a number of promotions that one should aim when applying to b-school. Furthermore, more than an official change of title in the HR system, what matters the most is to be able to show an increase of responsibilities (i.e. job size in HR jargon) over time, even if this increase came with no change in your official title or even increase in salary.
Depending on the company, title and position could be two different things. For example, someone in sales could be Manager (title) and Head of North American Accounts (position). This same person could be given the additional responsibility of leading Latin American accounts as well. However, this could come with no change in title (or even salary), for example, because of strict HR policies on when and how often promotions can be awarded. From an admissions perspective, even though this wasn't an official promotion by HR terms, this will be seen as an increase in responsibilities and therefore will be seen very positively.
I hope this helps.
Thank you very much.
Warm regards
Alex
