Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Title must include a '?' and be a specific question; self-posts may not contain links and advertising is prohibited.
Links
Only specific link types are allowed (docs, papers, non-commercial). Commercial links are removal bait.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, discussion, story
Headline: a specific, career-related question ending with a '?'. Write in first person, give concise context (role, years, location, pay/constraints). Typical post: short title + 2–5 brief paragraphs with facts and one clear ask. Tone: practical, civil, actionable. Upvoted: real dilemmas with specifics; removed: ads, links in self-posts, begging, sob stories, or personal attacks.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/careerguidance's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
