How much does YOE matter? 3 YOE out of undergrad and I just got the manager promotion at a B4 consulting shop (FB hasn’t updated companies but I used to be at D 😅)

Will my lack of experience hurt me when I’m looking for exit ops (ideally to tech)?

Yes. Big4 is promoting to managers in 3 years? That’s fast…

You went from C->M in 2 years at your current firm? That's insane! How did you negotiate the accelerated promo?

There is nothing you can do about how people perceive the value of a big 4 mgr title on the outside.

Just live your best life

Personally I disregard that info when I interview someone and let the results of their interview do the talking.

The downside comes when people have a specific title at their previous company that does not get replicated at their new company.

Obviously....but open ended questions are amazing for gathering insight.

The interviewers (over here) talk all the time about how easy it is to spot someone that is a master at their craft vs someone that only knows something topically but speaks really well.

Tl/Dr - you can learn a lot from great interview questions

What’s your comp?

What’s the base vs bonus of the $200k

I was fast tracked to Manager. I would say it’s a mix. There are at times auto screening questions on applications that will ask you for your YOE. Unfortunately if you meet the qualifications and you have the title you’ll get auto rejected because you are truthful and put down your YOE and the job required couple more years thinking that’s what most managers YOE are. But like others have said don’t let it ruin/not trying. Also once you get a solid year or two under belt as a manager you should be fine. Also network and get referrals those will help as well to at least get foot in the door.
