Anyone every switched firms right after getting a promo? I’m thinking about this as a potential strategy to jump two levels in a short time. For example, if I get the promo to senior consultant next year, what’s stopping me from applying to manager roles at other firms 2-3 months after this promo?

Nothing. And people leave after promotion all the time. If you can use that to jump up that quickly, more power to you.

Sure but don’t just think about jumping through roles. What’s your target? My personal target is to build my own business. And to do that I can’t just jump roles that doesn’t help. I need to stick it out in a role and learn the business model and what I need to do to be successful in the long run. Don’t worry about these short term gains. You will be a manager when you meet the criteria of being one and just because another firm is willing to take you in doesn’t mean you are ready..

Right but I felt a need for acceleration from your end. Just wanted to say that in 10-15 years all of these things won’t matter. Accelerate your learning and don’t look for personal career validation from a role that a company offers you .

Hi all,

Please suggest.
I've 3 yoe in techno-functional domain.
I wish to go into technical (development) profile now, but not as a fresher. I want to continue with 3 yoe.
But the issue is, I have no (dev) project to show in interview as an 3 yoe person.

I've learned Java, springboot, restfulAPIs, kafka, but still hesitant to go for interviews as I do not have projects to discuss.

I shall be very thankful to you if you help me here.
How/where can i go to make projects now to justify 3yoe?

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

Need some advice. I was asked to apply for a senior digital marketing specialist role (the lowest title I’ve applied for, looking mid-senior level). I applied and they offered me the position, but are telling me I need to start out at the regular specialist level. To me, if I interviewed for the senior title, and I can clearly do the qualifications needed since you offered me the role, I should have that title. Thoughts? Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.
