I am a few steps ahead in your career path. I joined as an engineer, made senior and then was promoted to team lead managing 5 people. Being a lead meant I had to join more calls with third parties and other teams. It went fine for me, I disclosed I had a stutter and built confidence over time. Regarding anxiety, mine is offset by knowing I have something important to say. When I look back at an interaction, I likely stuttered a bunch. However that is outweighed by my contribution that improved an outcome or solved a problem. As I have progressed upwards, my anxiety has fallen as I have adapted. I am now a software architect working in a large corporation. In the past quarter I have spoken to hundreds of people. This was a much bigger step and a struggle for me. I was less confident in my ability which made me more anxious when speaking. I wasn't aware of how much presenting the role would need when I got into it. That said, I am on year 3 and I am feeling good again. I am feeling confident in my role and I have had a lot of practice presenting and talking to others. Understand what the step up involves and plan your first three months. Use AI to help you shape it. Does that new challenge excite you or cause dred? If it is the latter, is that feeling rational? If peers are tipping you for promotion it is because they think you will be really good at what you do.
