There are a lot of variables in the promotion process, as there are no clear cut blue print of what guarantees moving to the next level.

Another controversial factor is the “subjective” appraisal from your immediate boss, this means you have to always do what your boss wants in oder to succeed.

OP, you killed it there. Lovely piece you wrote there. But, another secret to being promoted lies in the individual. Promotion, to me, is defined as developing the next level performance. This can be simply put as developing the qualities that makes you outstanding and whispers into your employers that you deserve career upliftment or whatever you may call it. This can be achieved through having dress sense (mode of dressing, neatness etc). I've seen a guy, working in an insurance coy, that was denied promotion simply because he lacks dress sense, his junior was promoted in his place cos he dresses smart. So it still matters.
