I had a couple friends who made it in one this year, so it's possible.

As a DHC?

I think they all had been promoted from a BTA the year before though

Exp hire or college and Advisory or Consulting?

Direct hire out of grad school. Consulting

Yes. Joined later in the year than you - but in 2014. Got promoted this year to SC.

What ratings did you get the two years? And how can I get there? Tips?

Just work your ass off and show value. Try to perform at the M level if at all possible.

Networking will be key as a DHC to get promoted. Make sure you are known in the region.

Yes possible. I joined in October 2014. Got promoted this cycle to SC. Didn't have amazing ratings either. I thought that was standard.

DHC from campus none summer hire. Highly unlikely to be promoted in 2 years now. The 3 year timeline is much more likely these days unless you get 1s and kiss the right asses of the people on your review committee.

Possible. I did it.

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?
