Hello- hoping to get some advice. Been working for a total of 1 year and 9 months as an associate in Assurance at a mid tier firm. Would it be too early to apply for senior level roles at either big 4/other mid tier companies?

Senior is ass at a B4 with zero B4 experience. You’ll hate your life

@ey1 even if he’s a senior associate with less than 1 year senior experience, big 4 will most likely bring him as experienced associate, not senior

That’s a PwC thing the three others have never had as hard line between senior and associate.

Just apply and take a chance on yourself

Pwc2 we need more voices like this in our lives! Thanks 😊

Honestly, you'll be better off coming in as an experienced associate / staff. The pay difference is pretty minimal, you'll be eligible for any promotion bonuses, and you'll have much more reasonable expectations for the first year as you adjust to both different engagement sizes as well as new firm methodology and politics and stuff. I know you'll feel like you're setting yourself back a year, but your career is a marathon and not a sprint and you'll be way more likely to be successful not coming in as a senior.

Yes, if u get hired, they will bring u in as experience associate and maybe work 1 full year before promotion

It doesn’t hurt to apply for a senior position and see what the recruiter says

When does your performance period end where you’d get promoted to senior? I’d ideally just wait for that

I switched firms after a year and my current company only does promotions once a year in Dec so I have to wait till im at 2 years and 6 months of associate experience till I get promoted

I’m going to be a dad! But I have some questions. When should I tell my manager/teams? I’m up for senior promotion this year, will this impact that promotion? For those of you that work in public what tips do you have for managing your work and family responsibilities? For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week. I know working in public and having a new born is probably going to be a lot to juggle, but I have to make it work.
