This would depend on your practice, but promotions only happen once a year. Did they say you would be promoted? That would be very quick.

OP, I responded below but I’ll put it here too. I start at KPMG in a month and was told the exact same thing. “Last year at your level”...lol. Advisory, I assume?

What’s the highest band for M at KPMG?

And what would that be ?

Was experienced hire Manager, hired in Dec ‘18 made Director last cycle (Oct’20). Might note that I was previously Manager promote at another Big 4 and have lots of YOE in industry.

OP, what practice in what city, and how many YOE do you have? Can you share your offer? I’m starting in a month and I’d like to compare.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
