How long did it take for you to get your first promotion in consulting? I've been at it for 3 years, still no word on moving up and I'm wondering now if that's a red flag where I'm at.

You will never get the word itself. You will have to spread the word yourself by talking to your partners and MDs. They might need to know that you are pushing for it. Promotion in a consulting firm is like a marketing campaign that you do for yourself.

3 years. I spent first two keeping head down and assuming hard work would get noticed and get me the promo. Realized after I got passed up that I needed to be proactive and make sure my leads knew what I was accomplishing and what I wanted to happen.

Got my second promotion two years after first.

My first promo out of entry level at a no-name firm took a year. I then moved to B4 back at entry level and it took 2 years to get promoted.

You need to have that talk with your manager/partner. It varies by person and firm. 3 to 4 years May be normal. What has happened with your peers. I think you know more than you disclosed here.

2.5 years

I’ve got 8 years experience, work at a small, hot creative agency in NYC and will be promoted to CD soon. I’m not irreplaceable since no one truly is, but I’m a high value employee responsible for a good proportion of the agency’s marquee creative work and some important new business wins. I’m at $165k now, what should I ask for with my promotion?

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

Any update on promotion??

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
