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

Do you think you could be Senior Manager at Accenture? That should answer your question.

Thanks SM1. Very helpful

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.

Any companies hiring for technical recruiters?

I have 4+ yrs of experience and looking for something immediately.

I was part of Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd.
The HR relationship manager was Deepa Vishwanathan. I resigned in May two years back and last working day was in Aug after serving three months notice.
However, due to error on human resource part they updated record as last working date in May. So whenever I was applying for any position there was mismatch in last working day mentioned in my resume and in human resource records with Kotak. Does it have impact on my profile not getting shortlisted?
