How critical is taking on internal stuff for promotion? For example, getting involved with internal groups, volunteering to lead internal company events, etc.

At PwC, in Consulting groups, it’s very important. Not necessarily internal “groups” but supporting business development efforts, helping shape / develop thought leadership, and high priority internal efforts (certifications, upskilling, etc) are definitely unspoken requirements to getting promoted in a timely (timely as defined by you!) manner

This may be true in the US, but in the UK consulting, it’s displayed as important, but in reality plays very little into performance reviews and promotions.

Feedback I got was; first make sure you’re at/beyond expectations on core responsibilities and showing ability to handle next level then sign up for extracurriculars. If you are performing well as a Senior then internal work could help make your case for Manager.

I almost feel like the visibility is more important than the level of involvement but they go hand in hand. No matter what, you have to be performing well at your actual work for it to matter.

They are significantly important IMO. Also, I believe that if you take up leadership roles in internal activities, they act as a dry run for you to build uo confidence to play the same roles at your clients.
Moreover, these are great to grow your network and understand the business, two main keys for timely / accelerated promotions IMO

It helps.

Definitely helps at FTI

Very firm-dependent. At McK, not at all important for promotion. Can help with rating though

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
