I am a 2nd year SC up for promotion in S&O. Just got to know that I am at off track during my mid year talent review because I have never managed resources or played a managerial role.Time to move on?

Am pretty sure that managing resources has always been a requirement to be promoted to Manager. At least in S&O. And S&O MBA hire has also always been 2 years up and out. They've relaxed this in the past when we were super busy but am not sure if that will be the case now. I would definitely look to get staged on a project in a manager role ASAP. Did you get a 3 last year? You also need to be on track for a 2 this year bc S&O SCs who go 3,3 are also on the chopping block even if they have manager experience.

There is a lot of inaccurate information here. MBA hires have always had 2 years to show they're ready to be a Manager. If they're not, it's up or out. No exceptions are given (unless there's been a LoA or something drastic). More importantly, you got that feedback so you'd have time to address it and be well positioned for year end. If your response is to go to another firm and not get it done you probably should look elsewhere.

Wow.... really interesting perspectives. My argument was precisely that I have managed client resources. I never did get a chance to manage internal resources on my projects. Ultimately, I think it is a subjective decision taken by your project manager whether one is ready or not. Thanks guys!

This is all BS. Managing resources is subjective. I'd give value to managing client resources over internal since BA and Cs will do what you ask and you can tear it to shreds if it's not acceptable. Try and motivate a 9-5er from the client or even worse, contractors. bottom line is how you craft your story and whether or not your counselor can sell it. Leading client resources and developing relationships for me trumps bossing BAs around any day of the week. Fuck the TEF, grow a pair and master your own destiny.

like

It's also all BS because it seems to depend on how we are doing in a given year. That and a kiss-ass politics culture

We only get 2 years at the SC level?

Experienced hires, masters student hires, etc. pretty much anyone not MBA hires

Interesting- great to know, thanks!

Not true at all... I didn't want to promote to M because I was too young. I stuck around SC in S&O for 4 after grad school...

D3- that's really good advice

This was never a requirement until they needed to have reasons for layoffs. Gearing up for another round?

Wow, thanks, D5!

Sorry to read that OP had no idea about expectations. I think I've always had expectations clearly set that one needs to live the role prior to getting promoted. This means managing someone in the case of SC --> M

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
