Currently an Associate Manager (which is the level below Manager in ACN Tech) and applied for a Manager role at big4. I have 7.5 YOE. I’ve completed all interview stages already. The salary I’m demanding is too high so they are considering offering SM after I come back for another interview. Bad move or good opportunity?

Regardless of YOE—You’re missing the whole part where you learn to be an M, let alone an SM. Can you lead multiple accounts, carve new business, run proposals and win approval of a ton of partners?

Which B4 would hire an associate manager as an SM? I’d be shocked to see it.

7.5 YOE would not get you anywhere near SM at Deloitte. I’d really make sure you think you’re capable of this

Move out if you are getting a good package but to be an SM know that you got to be already performing as an SM. May look good on papers but you would be the one to work.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
