How long after a promotion does it make sense to stay in that role to “get credit” for it if you know you’d like to exit before the next promo?

1 day? Most times you only list the last title on your resume and lump together all the years you worked at the firm so unless directly asked “when were you promoted” (which I haven’t heard anyone ask before), it doesn’t matter. Besides, if you subscribe to the philosophy of promoting someone based on demonstrated ability to perform at that higher level, then you’ve technically been working at that level longer than when your title officially changed.

@SC2 I think you’re fundamentally more experienced after your first full year at a higher level. You have to go through all the evaluations against the new higher standard (one small example is that instead of getting rockstar, promotion year ratings - you’ll now have to deal with good/medium ratings when measured against new level, but there are a dozen similar examples)

Like I said - this is just my opinion. Oddly, I’m in a position to attain a director promotion and then leave a month later, so my own opinion would be bad news for myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd probably wait a month before I started applying so that I'd have 2-3+ months of experience before I quit. Would probably help me be more successful in my next role if I was using the promotion to get a higher title. On my resume I usually put years with the company then just the relevant skills and experience under each title (without dates)

Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp

Hi , I recently went through all the loop , HR round and final HM catch up for a Senior level role at Meta only to be not offered a role (went to an internal candidate). Recruiter was very sympathetic and offered to introduce to any other open roles I am interested in. Should I take him up on it ? I see 2 open roles very similar to the ones I interviewed for. Recruiter had no negative feedback from the teams . Has this worked out for anyone ?

So, I fucked up a bit. Was interviewing with the recruiter and they asked me my rate — I went low as I had a number for a senior role. The problem was I forgot in the beginning of the meeting it was mentioned this was an ACD role. Can I go back to them with a more appropriate number for the role should I get the offer?
