what's the most overused hackneyed phrase in this industry? My number one is "authentic". "Our agency believes in the authentic" or "we have to stay authentic to the brand."

So here is my dilemma:
- based in the UK
- opportunity for lateral internal move (culture&engagement) or stay where I am (reward). I am mid level IC struggling to progress due to flat structure so considering lateral move then hopefully up from there.
- 2 primary aged children, currently have flexibility in current/new role too
- Husband just got accepted on a international rotation which means I will be single parent for the short term.

What to do? Go with the unknown or coast comfortably?

Finished interviewing for an ATS role at Microsoft Wednesday. The interviewers said they were recommending me but I haven’t gotten any feedback from the recruiter. I’m at PwC S& and in consulting I always got at least a verbal yes day of or next day after interviewing. Does anyone know how long this usually takes? Do you get a verbal first or do they wait to have a contract?

How long should I expect to be in each level? Currently an AE, was an AAE at my current company for about a 1.5 years. Feels like i’ll like be in this role for up to 2 years since there is no SAE.

Genuinely interested in understanding the timeline for account specific career trajectory. I’ve seen some ppl be an AS for 3 years before becoming an AD. Totally aware that timings vary from person to person, but want to better understanding timing since im a serial planner lol

Sometimes (not always) I feel like hiring managers get intimidated by me during interviews. I'm quite driven and have a big personality.

Genuinely curious, hiring managers - you ever not consider someone for fear they might outshine you?

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

Currently making ~$300K TC in a strategy role. Was just offered a different role (account manager) in the same company with a slight increase in base salary and a 50% TC increase if I hit sales target (even base case would be ~30% increase in TC).

Have never really considered account management / anything with a sales target, but I like money.

Thoughts? Things I should consider?
