Set the bar higher mate… think Associate straight to Partner with nothing in between.

This is kind of a non-answer but it really depends on YOE you come in with and how you perform. Promos are effective 10/1 so realistically unless you absolutely kill it in your first year you are most likely looking at a 10/2024 promo to senior.

Depends on if your campus or external hire and what service line. But 2 years is pretty typical.

It depends. Which country? Audit? Advisory? Tax? Campus recruit or experienced hire? At what point in the performance year?

But the answer is typically 2-3 years.

like

US. Advisory. Experienced hire. Starting in a couple weeks.

Is it really a time question? Seems like it should be a skills question. What does it take to be a senior? How much is based on actual work vs relationships and politics?

At some firms, the kiss up factor is the key to advancement. I worked at another Big 4 where that is their culture. That’s not here.

1 year minimum if you are a rock star

2-3 years is standard.

Two years is the typical, however could be three depending of the location!

What service line inside of advisory? I think that would help to know as well.

Fish, need your help. 5th year doing leveraged finance at a V20 in NYC. I’m good at my job but I hate the practice area. Was a direct hire. Ideally, would want to pivot to ECVC but would take PE M&A in a pinch. Have 4 years of international (non-US law) M&A and 1 year of international (US law) capital markets experience. Is it impossible to retool now? Given that markets are hot will I have to drop years (already dropped the 4 years of international experience so not keen to drop more).

Added context, they raised about $4M in seed funding and the founders say they're overcommitted for their series A which is currently being closed. I've been in product for 7 years, definitely feel equipped to do the job, but would like to stay at least 1.5-2 years if I do this.
