Does it really matter how hard you work or how outstanding your ratings are? At the end I feel you'll just get a promotion in X# years...

It only really matters since it affects your salary. The longer you stay, the bigger the gap between you and your high performing peera

At BDO, you very rarely move up more than one rating level per year. You're likely to stay at levels 3 & 4 for a few years before they move you to senior or manager level. You'll need a minimum of 10 - 12 years before they would even consider promoting someone to a director role. It's a slow ride if you stick it out.

Yeah I've always been a high performer and my salary is significantly more than some of my peers (like 10-15k)

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).

Got an offer from a big bank’s operation department (fund reporting analyst), currently at EY faas and I’m not happy here, should I stick it out here until I get promotion or jump now?

I have been promised a promotion three times now, but when the time comes, I'm told I'm not there yet. Why promise something if you clearly don't want to execute it?
