Currently at an agency and was promoted last May to Manager with two direct reports. I have had about 5.5 years of experience in the space. How long does it typically take to get to the next level? Any tips for performance review conversations?

Generally speaking, I'd say give it at least a couple of years to really sink your teeth into the manager role, show off your leadership chops, and make a noticeable impact on the team.
