I am hired at PwC as SA3 in June this year, targeting promotion next year to Manager role, is it too far fetched? Any recommendations on how can I make it happen?

It takes three years brah. Good luck.

its 3 years if you start off from SA1 not from SA3, if your a SA3 for 3 years your doing something wrong

You’ll be competing with home grown folk who already have a network and name for themselves. Not impossible but will be an uphill battle

SA3 goes to M. It’s standard - the expectation is that you do it

S&1 and BCG1 are both correct. The standard path is SA3 to M, but you’ll also be measured and competing against people who already have relationships and mentors pounding the table for them. I’d call it 50/50 odd you make it vs go lateral to SA3B for an extra year depending on your performance and how proactive you are about networking and building senior relationships.

Depends on the practice. No one in my practice made it in under two years.

FYI this was in MC/TC, not as&. S& is strict up or out.

Same question for Deloitte human capital

Pretty much 0% to go SC to M at D Human Capital for one year.

I tried doing it in 2 years and I was told “no”. So I had to be like “peace out, I’m off to S&”

I started as SA2 in June too, my goal is to get M in 2 years (1.5 depending on how I do on my first client work)
