Yes it is a very good role its equivalent to a manager

like

0-1 -- PAT (Programmer Analyst Trainee)
1-3 -- PA (Programmer Analyst)
3-7 -- A (Associate)
6-9 -- SA (Senior Associate) - Tech Leads, Tech specialist usually on same level
9+ -- M (Manager) - Architects on same level usually

The above is based on what usually happens but we always see exceptions every now and then

For M and above I'm not really sure how much exp is usually required. Though rest of the bands are:
SM (Senior Manager)
AD (Associate Director)
Director
Senior Director
Associate Vice President
Senior Vice President

How do you deal with an HR that ghosts you after 3 interviews that went really well? I landed an offer at Deloitte as a sr. consultant, and then negotiated for a managerial role. I was told all interviewers were really happy with me so she would be glad to arrange a reevaluation for the new role(I was interviewed by 2 Sr. Managers & an MD for Sr. Consultant role and will have to take another round with a partner for the managerial position). I tried following up thrice after, no response.

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼
