I joined on Nov 2020 in EY GDS as Senior 1,so when I will be getting progression for senior 2?

Need help thinking through this…Debating leaving to a tech startup. Very early stage ($3-7M ARR), would have a big role leading strategy and Ops. It’s a cash paycut, which is a bummer but the equity would be pretty good. Just nervous about leaving before hitting the full manager role and taking a paycut in this market to bank on equity. For those of you have left, what kind of questions did you ask yourself to know it was the right time?

4 YOE total all in consulting. Currently a SC. Clients/work have been commercial healthcare implementation & public health strategy, risk, process imp etc.

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone?

My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?
