1 year but, but jumping agencies helped me get that title change as well

2 years average, 1 if you’re a rockstar, 3 if you’re a slow learner. Talk to your director about your growth plan. Do you know what things you need to learn to make it to the next level? Are you at an agency that levels only open when a seat opens?

This sounds about right. Slowest growth I had was Senior to Director. Our department used to have a lot less titles than Producers. So we tended to get stuck with one title forever. But we’re finally catching up with Associate BA, Associate Director, etc.

I came in at the manager level from another industry but 2 years is what I have seen *at agencies with growth plans.* ie “Here is the job description for this role which you will be slowly onboarded onto for the next two years and will earn the title once you have shown proficiency in x,y and z.” I have also worked at agencies where there was no growth plan and promotions were made randomly when/if a manager left and a the role became available :-/ I would avoid the later if you have the option.

Hi guys,

I need an advice/suggestion here. I got an offer from 2 different organisations and choose one among them (Role: Analyst) because of the culture and benefits. And the other offer has a good pay and good designation (Associate Consultant) rather than the one I choose. Now i feel very low due to this decision that I took. I feel like I have settled down for a lower package and a lower designation. Is there anything that I can do in the current organisation that I’ve joined at a week back

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree.

I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

Hey all, transitioned from the military last spring and got a UX product manager position at a bank.

Pay is good, but missing the mission aspect of work. Have interview offers from Microsoft and Amazon for cleared PM work, but most of them are less product manager work and more adjacent program work.

This might just be grass is greener thinking, but would love to hear if you have made the transition if you enjoy cleared PM work or do you wish you stayed in the non-cleared space?
