Totally agree. This reads to me as someone who is more concerned with their trajectory and appearance than actually doing the work. I believe in doing hard work well, then showing it off to earn growth. It should be deliberate, but if your end goal is the title then I will smell then lack of sincerity immediately.

The tone of the writer comes across as mildly entitled as if they, just by wanting it, are entitled to the role. No mention of other senior leaders in the company that may have been on the same trajectory at the same time, and how he was measuring up against his peers. Most of the achievements listed in this post are purely overseeing groups of people, which in itself is the bare minimum for this level of leadership. I also perceive some cultural barriers in this post.
