Listen, the interviews things are a distraction. Total waste of time considering you love the company and the role. It's time to buckle down and focus.

It's not just the next 5 months, it's actually 7-8 because that's when the promotion meetings happen.

Are the personal issues over? If so, jump on the PRD. Identify areas in the practice that are lacking and develop a training program to help folks get better.

Also talk to your engagement lead, explain your goal of being promoted and figure out a way to take on more responsibility on the client side.

Have a candid conversation with your counselor to see if you’re on track for promotion. You need to be demonstrating that you’re already operating at the manager level. Managing teams, workstreams independently. The promotion convos should have already happened with your CCG. They would know by now. A conversation with your People Consultant could help as well. In some practice areas, they require you to have specific certifications before you hit manager level

Also, to add. I have couple of interviews lined up for Tech companies. Should I focus on those? Rather than my career here. Love the company and role but also love challenges and lifestyle of consulting. #SoConfused.
