Seriously? Quality of work dictates promotions, not length of time.

However long it takes you to meet the skills expectations for the new role 👌🏻

If you didn’t get promoted in the first 6 months you’re never going to get promoted at all. Just get out now.

Your agency and location matters too. If you’re at the only agency in town then they have no pressure.

The faster you get promoted, the faster you’ll be pushed out of the industry. Slow your roll if you want to work past 35.

Is this true? Even for media folks? I know people that get promoted every year. They went from Analyst to VP in less than 5 years and they do not have anything to show for it (no technical skills or other outside experience). Is this a tactic with leadership to promote all the “not so great” or “mediocre at best” employees so they “destroy" their careers/chances in the long run?

I’ve promoted strategists at 6 months and not at the 3 year mark [at that point they get the hint]. time is not the deciding factor. it’s skill, potential, quality of work, independence, [occasionally need], etc

18-24 months if you're doing great work and having constant feedback/communication with your manager/supervisor etc.

Its doing a good job and your place having a different job you can do, and the money to give you a raise.

If youre at a small place, or a place no one is leaving, then the "promotion" would just be a different title, not bigger responsibilities.

Just concentrate on doing a really great job and people will notice. Nobody wants to think youre just marking days off your calendar.

From strategist to strategy director? Longer than that...

From what level to what level?

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
