You rank somewhere between pond scum and the gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

Does your firm recognise senior as a level? Basically it’s the equivalent of a person in their 4th year with the firm who hasn’t been promoted. Usually you’d expect someone to do staff 1, staff 2, senior 1, senior 2 and then maybe senior 3/4 or AM. It could be possible that it’s a trial basis and you’ll be promoted to senior at the end of your probation, but if you’re coming in to the firm with prior experience I’d be having a conversation with your counsellor about where your career is heading

Yes the firm is EY. Im in advisory they said they want people to go through ACP for at least one year. Hopefully it’s the right philosophy

Well then I wouldn’t worry about it too much, just get an understanding of all the different levels and where you fit in, what’s next for you, what you have to do to get there etc. If they’re putting everyone through it then it might just be policy

It's the equivalent of staff 2. Next step is Sr. Every 6 months the firm will increase your bill rate (not your pay) and they bump you up to the next bill rates.

I would appreciate some advice on my situation below.
About three months ago, I was applying to find a new job. A month later, I got an offer, came work for this firm. I am not feeling like this would be a great environment for me. So I accepted a job interview this week but when I sent them the resume was 3 months ago so i didnt have my current job on there. Should I tell them my job has changed since? I am worried that if i dont tell them, they will find out when doing background check.
