I would shoot for director. There have been many big 4 M’s in consulting that come over to the director level. Plus, SM here probably wouldn’t be a pay bump.

Unsure

For some extra context, SM is typically where Business Analysis roles at Capital One start having direct reports

7 YOE projects to Manager or Senior Manager, but with a strong enough background you could try to make the case for Director.

Thanks everyone. Thinking I’ll just ask the recruiter for Director level, worse case they say no or they evaluate me as SM after the interview process.

like

YOE will define it, but SM at CapOne may at best be a lateral move. Director is a better level

like

Close to 7 total YOE, but last 2.5 years were at M title and have people manager experience before that. YOE on low end for D (not sure), but scope of work is definitely in that range.

I’d imagine Director is the more suitable role to transition into unless you really like the team/package.

like

SM promo doesn’t depend on tenure, you could be 4-5 years into M, but need to have a SM case. Look at the salary offered more than the title, given the quantum of experience.

like

Right. I project I’ll get the promo to SM next cycle due to support and network. But it will take work and nothing is guaranteed, which is what makes a jump to Senior manager appealing. Comp is not significantly different though, 10% base increase based on initial convos with the recruiter.

They tell you how quick you can you get promoted? I applied for an SM and M role - but ended up taking the M role to get more skills / not come in too high and fail. Now wondering if I should’ve just taken SM lol.

like

No, the Capital one recruiter didn’t tell me how quickly I’d get promoted if I took the role. Neither did my current firm, but I have lots of data points (thanks fishbowl) to know I’m within the time range plus I have a decent support network.

With 7 YOE you can push for director. I came in as SM with 6 YOE. If I was in your shoes, I’d try for director and accept a down level if it came to it.

You have to be REALLY outstanding for the team to go through up-level approvals if you try for SM.

What job family CO3? Are you referring to up level approvals after hired or during interview process?

Hey Fishers, how/where to prepare for a job switch for 3-4 YOE?

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

Is it wise to go to my company’s competitor for a promotion and risk burning a bridge?

We only have one significant competitor in our industry, and it’s likely my best option. Love my company, been with them for years, but I’m really struggling with how frustrating this situation is.
