Can anyone explain how my manager is able to keep telling me I can’t get promoted until I’m in my current role for two years but I’ve seen others getting promoted 2x in the span of 2-3 years. Should I ask that upfront?

2 years is the standard. Less than that is for exceptional talent that is operating above and beyond their job

My manager tells me I’m passing expectations but keeps giving me more expectations I don’t see others getting.

Would have an open an objective conversation more around expectations that you need to meet to be promoted versus why others and not you.

Are those people at the same level

Ok so they started at your level meaning you both were data analysts when you joined the company - how long were they there before you? If they were there 2-3 before you got there (or had more transferable experience, overall experience before) this makes sense. How often does your company promote, could it be coming at year-end? I would raise that with your manager soon.

If none of this stuff applies, I would have an honestly conversation about what you need to do to get there. Ask your manager if they think you’re ready? Set a timeline and document everything. Honestly sometimes this comes down to internal politics and bs, may need to leave the company.

Also once you get past the most junior levels, promotions happen less on a schedule and more on performance or merit (or company needs). It’s annoying, I hear you, I’m in the same boat honestly but hoping for promotion at YE.

Is your manager the one who promoted you? Do you have a coach/counselor assigned to you as well? Where do you work? I can help more if it’s like at Deloitte or similar

And then once you get those expectations, put them in writing via an email to follow up on the meeting. That way it’s in writing and then once you exceed those expectations, fully, there, you have your proof that something else is happening.

Maybe promotions don’t happen until after the two year mark then after that they can happen more often.

In communications, remain professional and respectful and avoid blaming or blaming. Generally speaking, managers are willing to listen to employees' concerns and work with them to support their career development. If you are not satisfied with the responses or support provided by your manager, then you may consider discussing it with Human Resources or exploring other opportunities to achieve your career goals. Most importantly, take proactive steps to advance your career.

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
