Small small teams (got to keep that profitability high 🥴) and maximum visibility from senior people. I worked my ass off for a year and I was on the map. Showed I could handle several accounts on my own and deliver (Took me 18 months from AE to AS). Why do you feel you’re hitting the wall?

Im having the same struggle. I been doing things outside my job description and was told because of financial reasons I can’t be promoted even though I been doing the work and people think I’m a supervisor already 🤷🏻‍♀️

Major reshuffling at senior levels, which had the trickle down effect of moving several people up. Not that they weren’t ready, but I’m not sure how quickly it would’ve happened without a larger movement.

I got the promotion as part of a counter offer I accepted when the external offer I received was also a promotion to AS. Another option is applying internally for an AS role on a different account, if available, which I saw happen a couple times.

Sounds short lived af. This ain’t tech. People must hate you at RPA.
