Can anyone provide insight to distinguish myself between associate versus senior associate during interviews? I’m right on the borderline for min years but I do have experience having direct reports

I want to go all in for senior associate and I am already up for promotion at my current firm but I do not want to stay there

Leading teams/leading junior resources/leading a project is the big one imo

I’m currently serving as the lead project manager if that helps

During the interview you should display leadership skills, ability to manage multiple people and the client/engagement, talk about how you resolve conflicts, getting buy in from the client, managing the project lifecycle, presenting to clients and leadership, working on proposals if you do that

Basically it’s more about managing and leadership than being technical/an individual contributor. You will still need to display that to ensure you know what your staff is supposed to be doing but it’s more leadership

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

Where is the loyalty in that !!??
