Currently a tax manager at big 4. Been a manager in my specialty area for 2.5 years and was not promoted. I can move now to a reputable mid tier firm as a senior manager with a sizable pay bump now.

OP - did they give a reason why you were not promoted? For EY - 3 years as manager is the norm, so at 2.5 you may or may not have been promoted. They may simply feel you needed another year before being a SM. You may be upset but the people above you may just think you are not ready yet and trying to help you succeed long term. As far as leaving and coming back; it depends on your specialty practice. I am ITS in NYC. My experience has been that in ITS the mid tiers are very heavy compliance and provision practices; and light on consulting. We are more of a high end consulting practice. As such the experience of people at a mid tier is not what we need. So you may leave, get a bump, and get great experience in compliance and provision but that may not be what a B4 practice is looking for. Again, without knowing what area of tax you practice, I am giving you just one example.

RSM1 - I am sorry for you that no one has ever tried to help you succeed. As a senior partner at EY a part of my job is to bring people up behind me. I will retire one day; I need to keep identifying and building the next batch of partners behind me to succeed. I don't know why that is so funny to you.

Not sure if I will like the mid tier environment as I have nothing to compare it to. If I decide that it's not a right fit how hard is it to transition as a senior manager to another big 4?

ITS I already have the experience at a big 4

I agree with EY1 that getting promoted to SM at 2.5 years is early. In fact, in ITS in SWR, we often promote to SM at 4 years. There are such huge expectations at the SM level that they want to make sure people are ready.

EY 1 "trying to help you succeed long term" 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
