3 years is normal now.
People will treat the idea of an early promo more seriously if you have experience at level elsewhere, but it's no garauntee. You will need a track record of operating consistently at SC level if you want to get promoted after 2 years, irrespective of how much experience you have elsewhere.
Same exact boat. From what I’ve heard 3 years is now the norm. 2 yrs used to be the standard but that changed a couple years ago. I started in late 2018 and my target promo date has always been 2022 in iRPM
Zero prior consulting experience. I’m unaware of how much that would factor in, but I’d make sure your coach knows of your previous exp
I’ve seen someone go up for early promo from C to SC in little as 6 months after joining the firm
Okay. Got an offer for C there but just got promoted to SC at my firm. The opps for growth and building skills are better at D and the pay is also better at C vs at newly SC here so I’m conflicted.
They’re saying I can move up in 1-2 years given my experience but I need that to be 1 year tops if I’m going down a level.
Lol they always say “can” bc technically you can but the likelihood is extremely slim
OP you work at WMP don’t you?
West Monroe. My advice though, unless Deloitte C is 20-30k higher in base, I’d advise staying at your firm as an SC then jumping in a year with SC title.
2-3 years is the fat end of the bell curve, though it can happen in less time.
