Depends on a company really, you can easily get promoted if you are smart and changing jobs quite often

Ok, that's helpful to understand the time and process that others have experienced. I would really like to stick to one place by building good relationships with management, but I also know I can't control who my leaders are, whether they would choose to promote me, etc.

Although years of experience is an advantage, it is not an all encompassing factor. It depends on your over-all performance too, consistency and impact on the company.

What are the designation levels in the major financial institutions? It's confusing because some consider VP and SVP more senior than a Director, and some have SVP one level lower than a Director like in Citi. If you know the levels of whichever org you work for, please comment on this post. For example in Standard Chartered:
it's Associate, Associate Director, Director, Executive Director, Managing Director (3 levels).

Hi all, I just got a job offer at PwC for a senior consultant position.

Does anyone have any experience moving from industry to consulting? I need some advice on what to do. I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.
