Hi I'm a senior accountant a big firm, I have been in my role for about 2 years, how long did it take for you to get promoted? I'm worried to be stuck at this level. I have the patience to do 1 more year, questionable at 2.

Have you talked to your Coach or Mentor to gauge where you are in your career development? Do you have clear guidelines on what you need to improve upon in order to be ready to promote? If not, ask. Or, get out of there. Everyone needs Seniors, change teams or firms until you find a fit. You have to advocate for yourself before someone else will advocate for you, especially if you are in a predominantly white firm.

It might vary depending on the firm but being a Senior for 3 years is usually the normal cycle for EY Audit Seniors.

You have a very long career ahead of you. Don’t worry and be patient, you are on track from an EY perspective. 3 years at senior before being up for promotion.
