Are you currently pushing for promotion, or are you content where you are? I’m torn because I really enjoy the balance I’ve found but I also don't want to permanently close the door on future opportunities. How do you decide?

My office had two staff get promoted to senior recently and one had been with the firm for about 3 years and the other only 1.5 (had intern experience with the firm though). From talking with them both cause I’ll probably get promoted next year, the 3 year staff enjoys being senior a lot more than the 1.5 year staff. Since he had more time to understand everything before getting promoted, it wasn’t much of a jump up for him while it was quite a jump for the 1.5 year staff.

I’m not pushing for promo right now because I know I have a big year ahead and I don’t need the added stress lol. (Planning a wedding and planning to get pregnant).

I think 12-24 months “too long” in a role is fine in the grand scheme of your career. If you’re not ready to move now just wait 3-6 months and see how you feel then. You’ll be okay!

Been pushing for it all year, and was just looked over for a few roles. My leader keeps telling me to keep doing what I’m doing and my accomplishments are being talked about in the leadership circle each time I ask about it, but it’s seeming more and more like a carrot dangle. I don’t see myself here long term because of it, but the job market is not so great right now.

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.
I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.

Joined Ericsson a year ago. Learned new things but not enough. Thinking of leaving it and join some other org. What do you think? I wanted some on-site opportunities but so far nothing.
I know the raise will be in between 5-10%. But the part I missed the most is learning. I can use their portal but that is all theory and can’t do much if they don’t provide the time for it .
Let me know in comments.

It's a good mgmt opp and good creative is a definite possibility, but I'm conflicted. Aency BS would be nice to step away from, but I think I'm still bought into the notion that agencies are superior and in-house is where washed-up creatives go to die.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
