I didn’t get promoted manager this year which was a huge surprise to. Literally, nothing led me to believe I wouldn’t get the promotion ( maybe covid but I was still super busy).I am not challenged at work at all as I have been a senior for a very long time (5- old firm 3 years and EY 2 years)I don’t know what to do. I think I will be bored to death in industry but I have the fear of never being enough or doing enough in PA. I am just very overwhelmed and confused of what’s next for me.

How were you rated?

In times like this having a promotion shouldn’t be all that surprising. I’d vote with your feet I’d you have better options elsewhere or just stick it out for another year if you don’t.

They are passing you over hoping you’ll either leave or stick around another year.

🙁 I’m really sorry. Transparency is something preached but not actually done.
