Look at entry level roles only / reframe your experiences so that they showcase that you have taken responsibilities similar to comparable positions - it may be your CV as I know many BAs that have secured roles post-1.5 years into an analyst scheme

Seen as giving up. Wait for promo

Too soon… min 2 years

Salaries have really been spiking. I am curious what the salary for a Principal/ Junior Partners would be in a mid-sized accounting firm now. In January I was approached for $200K for a senior manager role. Now a head hunter has approached me with $225K.
