How does one handle explaining they’re an A3 while job searching (got my CPA)? I missed KPMGs early senior may promo and they canceled the October one so looking around and just wondering how to answer the question one day of why I’m still an associate past 2 years (didn’t get RIFed so my PML claims it’s not a performance issue, just got unlucky with timing)

They cancelled all October promotions? If so, just describe it like you did in your post.

Fellow P&T Directors - here’s a thread for us to discuss what we are hearing/not hearing with regards to PCLDE and the making of new partners in P&T.

On every call, we hear Joe talk about making new Partners and his commitment. I have yet to see any of those ‘commitments’ be reflected in actions or explanations. (eg. No senior directors from commercial GTM going into PCLDE this year …) What?

Do they really think we’re going to ‘stick around’ until they ‘figure it out’ …

Base pay seemed pretty low in other posts, but they were a year old and for Seattle.
