Has anyone ever successfully moved up in their career quickly with one company? I keep reading articles about the best way to increase salary and move up in your career is switching companies, but honestly I don’t really want to do that!

$65k -> $140k at current company over 6-year period.

Recent catalyst was me bringing in an external $130k offer; that helped me move from $113k to $140k over this past year. Also passed my final CFA exam at about the same time.

Congrats on passing the CFA!

I went from about 50k -> 120k with one company over an 8 year period. Learned a ton. I stayed a couple years longer but had hit a ceiling there and had to look externally for my next step.

I will note that it was a very flat structure I don't think my title ever actually changed but my contributions/responsibilities certainly did.

Its easier to do this with remote jobs because your office stays the same, and theirs no commute. Remote jobs allow people to be more efficient especially in age of ai.

New auditor here, I see most auditors get booked for 10- 12 hours on engagements during busy season. But heard everyone’s working 65 hours to 100 hours a week during that time. Does that mean almost everyone is eating their hours in big four and midsize firms ? If you’re assigned for 12 hours daily, Monday to Friday, but actually working 15 hours and weekends, do you book 12 hours Monday to Friday ? Or the actual hours you worked including weekends ?
