Avoid taking the denial personally, continuing to work without disengaging, and refraining from gossip. Follow up with your tech lead to determine if it is a temporary delay or a definitive no, which dictates whether you should seek feedback or test the job market.
Hear it at 0:00 →If you've been denied a promotion as a software developer, here is the to-do list for you. Do not take it personally, even it can feel personal. Do not disengage or stop working, even if you don't feel like it. And do not gossip or trash talk about your boss, team, or company. What you should do instead, it's check with your tech lead and see if it's a no or a not right now. If it's a not right now, then get feedback and next time that promotion will be yours.
And if it's a no, maybe it's time to move on, then go to the market.
