Hi! Looking for advice:

Graduated with my BS in May 21, and have been working as an embedded consultant for a little under 2yrs. Due to my work performance, I was promoted to Lead of my 5 person team after only 10 months. It’s a position that, when hiring externally, requires 3yrs exp + Masters.

When in interviews for new positions, this has been almost a negative(!), as I can’t progress or even move laterally as I don’t have a Masters or 3+ yrs of experience yet.. it’s so defeating!!

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.
