Career manager is holding me back from a promotion -think mother figure. Teams lead/ her boss has only been in position for two months. Is it OK to voice these concerns with my principal/director?

Worried about going to the top, too quickly, however that individual has known me for the longest and can speak to my abilities.

Why not, if you work at BAH you should know CMs have very little say in promotions

@McK the security code checks out, but it's an older version. Should I hold them?

Is your career manager holding you back or giving you guidance on readiness you don't like? What are they telling you? How are your ratings? Are you in a stretch role right now?

Not saying this is the case... but I've seen many instances where someone is focused on a promotion when they are barely cutting it at current level. Need to master your current role to get positioned for promotion.

Let your project and career leadership know your aspirations, ask realistically what areas you need to develop / prove and listen to their advice on how you get yourself involved with the right activities and roles to make it happen....
