Comparison is the thief of all joy. Just work hard.

Totally disagree EY2. The comparison gives me data about what’s expected and how my peers perform. By comparing myself to the population I know where I’m weak and strong.

Now...comparing myself to individuals, at least for me, is when the insecurities start to pile up.

There are different speeds (and acceleration) at which people progress in careers. Just to give a personal example - I made project manager at 30, people manager (sr manager in the hierarchy) at 32 , and partner at 36 . Some of my friends made partner at 32 . I made VP at 39 and many of my friends who made VP did so after me . And now we have Associate Partners who are 29 and a fair chance that some of us will work for them before we retire. That’s how this works over time - if you try to optimize for any one level in a long career, you may get some very skewed results

Thoughts on offer. 5.5 YOE in BV / M&A. Broad experience over that time in Valuation advisory and strong network within current firm - anticipating 5-7 yrs to partner where I am. CPA / ABV. M2 current. Current salary $125k. Offered $150k + $7.5k SOB for a lateral move to much bigger (not b4) PA firm. Probably weaker prospects of accelerated partner track.

Does promotion happen while you're on bench in IT companies?
Hi All, I've completed two years in my current company and I was recently released from my project and my manager is trying to assign me to a new project hopefully.
My question is, will my promotion happen as I was eligible for the same and I was released to the bench as I'll be moving on to another project soon. Can someone enlighten me on this?

Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
