How does one actually get a title promotion? I’ve read the criteria for various titles but how does it actually work? Is it basically Mgmt talking to HR and getting them to click a button?

Although titles don’t mean anything financially they do make a difference in some cases how you are treated. Avp here and SVP act like they are so much better than you. Not everyone, but many take titles seriously and want to walk around like a peacock in full Blume.
Title promotion are a joke. Keep on busting your sss for no extra pay. Here is a meaningless title promotion for you to stay. BOA sucks Dkkk
Title promotions are a meaningless distraction in lieu of real recognition like a job band promotion, a raise or a bonus.
Quit, then get hired back on as an external hire & they’ll probably give you a higher title and more pay.
Agree with all these posts.
+ changing bands does not necessarily mean any increase in $$$, because the salary ranges overlap across bands. (and the salary ranges vary based on role, location, dept.)
I wish I'd focused more on comp and vacation allotment than titles in my career here.
Honestly none of it even matters. Title promotion are a joke!!! You don't get any raise in pay. You don't get a bigger bonus who cares.
The criteria for a title promotion is :1) Favorite of the inept manager or : ) Crony of the inept manager. I have seen people get title promotions after being here for one year and others in the same title for 20 years no matter what they do.
There used to be two times a year managers can submit title promotions. The manager needs to be able to “sell” the promotion by showcasing accomplishments and exceeds behavior, it basically comes down to the loudest or most persuasive person on the leadership team, and not having any doubters or detractors.
Title promotion doesn't mean anything. Its a way to appease an employee. To better yourself you need to change bands.
be a rube where your manager can't/won't pay you any more so they throw you a meaningless bone thinking you'll be happy chasing a title.
