Feel as if I’m constantly behind peers in terms of career progression (e.g. MBB/ FAANG) despite having a decent-ish background (tier 2 consulting and now at top tier finance company in strategy role). I find that the companies I’ve worked at have very set progression based on tenure, with no room for negotiation. I’m really ambitious/ hardworking and I am not sure where to go that would match my goals of career progression. Is it just MBB/ FAANG or is there anywhere else? Any ideas?

Whelp, the reality of this one hurts.

Look into sales roles. You will have amazing compensation if you do well.

Also look into investment banking.

I’m convinced that people posting about massive jumps in progression are a vocal minority. You’re doing great, don’t waste time and energy doubting yourself
