Why even take a year? I would consider skip-level promotion.

I call bullshit on all of it. When I was at D, that would NEVER happen. Maybe if you acquired Accenture for 3 boxes of copying paper it could be up for discussion.

I've seen it happen, superstars that don't follow the traditional path that go out and sell work which they end up being the engagement manager, rather complain that partners aren't selling enough work.

I know an SM in Advisory that did it but has a strong business case and likely should've been promoted to M a year earlier.

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?
