Have a call with a competitor in the big 4. This year was supposed to be promotion year but I know I won’t be getting it. Do I try to go for the title bump now or tell them I knew I wasn’t getting it

Tell them you are up for it and have strong support from your leadership, however as with anything there is still a small probability that you won’t get it so if the new firm can give you the promotion and pay raise NOW then that is guaranteed and definitely solid reason for why you’d consider jumping.

Sell your present persona and skills not your past or someone's interpretation of it - be confident, tell stories and be specific of the value you bring working with clients and leading - no one cares about an arbitrary decision or milestone that did not happen - be true

SC - it may just be in your head. When going from SC to Manager many people go through this. Then when you make it, it’s a great feeling 🤜

You don’t owe them an explanation, if they ask simply say that you are interested in taking your skills elsewhere

Just act confident and tell the prospective employee why and they may give it to you anyway.

How do you know?

You could lie and you’d probably get away with it Or you could not be a piece of shit and either tell the truth or hope they don’t ask

Any recruiter knows that this is the time of year that people are/are not getting promoted. They probably know your game so no need to lie

S1- I’ve been getting the best or better than avg ratings my past few years as a S. I have the backing of certain leadership team members but am not seeing myself getting those lead roles on my projects. Looking at my peers I’m not making the cut or else leadership team would be giving me those opportunities to manage the team .

Lie your a$$ off!
