Staying at an econo lodge... oh my.
New to Fishbowl?

I don’t get what you’re trying to say. You got promoted twice within a year but think you could have done it faster elsewhere?
I'm also confused. You got promoted twice in one year but there is "no opportunity for advancement". Please explain
What level is below associate? Intern? It's not really possible to get two promos in a year.
Lol what pdubs1 is saying
And yeah I am in a SDC. Fuckers didn't advertise it like that and I thought it was a normal pwc office with less travel. Still,my fault though.
Switch conpanies...join a normal office
Yea leave sdc not a good role for high performers
OP don't over-complicate this. If you are willing to travel M-Thr every week, deal with the clients daily, and take on some of the other nuances that SDC doesn't deal with just jump over to core advisory. If you've been truly out-performing seniors on your project you should have (or can easily develop) a network of directors and partners that will take you in. If you don't have or can't get this support despite working for these folks, your performance is likely not as strong as you perceive. You would need to be aligned to an office that houses at least a few leaders from the advisory group you want to transition into - then be prepared to travel weekly to client locations.
FWIW, I've supported and helped transition a few SDC offshore team members who were high performers and good with client facing work into our onshore advisory practice. It's an easy case if they've performed for you in the past. Your expectations of "limited ceiling" are correct in SDC, but don't be frustrated by it... that is kind of the point of SDC in our business and delivery model... those team members have to bill out to clients cheaper for us to be cost competitive and therefore are inherently capped from a comp perspective so that we are profitable which means titles/promos will be slower
I've got the support or so it seems right now. Its fair to say that I haven't traveled as much as core, but I've certainly worked those hours and had a role in which I interacted and handled clients on a daily basis. I agree about the general profile of SDC workers not being quite a match for core pwc employees. I think ill probably peruse my options in CLT while pushing this transfer through. I would like to stay in PwC and retain my contacts, but if I can jump to another big four firm for a senior position then ill do it. Plus it seems like PwC is getting,more focused on tenure,which will make difficult for me to make my way up at PwC starting from SDC.
Where but I built a decent group of contacts. Make a play for a senior associate position at anothee big four or try to transfer to another office (super bad culture/work at current office ans no advancement) and try to make it up the chain at pwc. Current pay is not great righr now for big four.
If you are in a delivery center like Columbia you gotta move on.
There is literally no path at PwC from those roles to client facing consulting work.
Promoted twice in 1.5 years at pwc. 2-3 years of industry experience in fraud and compliance before pwc. On the go and didn't communicate that as best as I could. Its a funky not normal pwc office/set up.
Cant hit manager in current office which means I have to transfer to another pwc office.
Ahh nm... saw your new posts. There was some Columbia SDC person a day or two ago complaining about this same thing. If you want to do a client service role and are prepared to travel every week that comes with consulting I'd say go for a transfer to a client facing group
Yeah I'm leaving SDC regardless but I could transfer to normal pwc as an associate. Not sure if its worth it and if I should just go to another firm
Play the field and see if you can get a better offer BUT you may be shooting yourself in the foot in the long run.
Consulting is a mix of three major skills. Tech skills + biz skills + people skills. Thru your previous experience you prob have associate and maybe senior associate level tech skills around risk mgmt. But do you have the biz analysis or people mgmt skills of a senior associate. Id bet no way since you havent been exposed to those.
So yes, ypy might get an offer to join another firm as a senior associate but my guess is that your ride at the level will be ugly and will prob lead to a quick exit.
Jump offices, join as an associate
I do actually. Heavy client interaction on my last project with very complicated business processes. Managed client teams directly without pwc support as well. Also outperformed most of the seniors from core on my last project (year and a half project). I honestly can't stand some of these arrogant kids from core who think an MBA from Ivy league gives them more experience than me. /end rant.
Then go apply elsewhere and see if you can get a promo elsewhere. Easy pezey
Just come to Accenture, we pay out lower levels too much - 2.5 years out of college I don’t deserve 106k - but I’ll gladly take it
