Hi All - I work at a hedge fund in NYC and our accounting team has grown in size. I have completed 3 busy seasons but have not been promoted yet despite more members joining the team. How do I have a professional conversation with my boss to determine whether or not I will be promoted come year end. I enjoy the WLB but I want to progress my career. I worry that if I start this conversation I might create an awkward work atmosphere but I need to know if I should look elsewhere for opportunity.

Please suggest in terms of learning, job security and work life balance which organisation to go for in the current time from the below offers...
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.

Engineers, have you ever regretted accepting a promotion to management? What should I consider before saying yes?

Have you ever regretted taking a manager role? The pay increase is tempting but I just love my job so much I’m not sure if it’s worth giving it up

Have you ever taken a career slow down? I am feeling burnt out from COVID and the incremental responsibilities thrown my way over the last 5+ years. I feel like my health has deteriorated. I like my company, but I want to do less. I don’t need to be a HR Director, CHRO, etc. With a career slowdown, I am prepared for a lower compensation and would want decent benefits. Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?

I’ve been in my current position (Bookkeeper) for 4 years now.

Newish to data analytics. Have some experience in power BI, sql, and R. I wanted to get some exposure to aws and saw the AWS cloud practitioner as an available course at my job. Is this cert worth it? Or should I try one of the more advanced ones ? The data analytics one for example but wasn’t sure if it would be difficult to get through as a beginner. Will it look good on my resume?

I've been interviewing with another company for about a month. The whole process has been 3 interviews over a months time. I have been in my current role over 6+ years (as HR mgr) and it's very transactional and not very strategic. The new company wants someone to lead a team from a senior level (HR Director) - what advice do you have for taking the next step in my career? I'm likely going to take the offer if it comes.
