If you really want a role, is it ok to continue pinging the lead? They haven't responded to my last two pings...

@a3 - no they don't. I did not expect them to care but I do think everyone deserves responses. This is one reason I am looking outside of consulting. It's the way the whole industry treats people.

It's at that point where I would stop pinging. Wait a couple days and try sending a follow up email. Usually it's the other way around - I send a follow up email and if that doesn't get a response, I would ping. But if your pings have been ignored, I'd take the hint.

Agreed! I emailed and pinged. At least tell me that you found someone else, fuck.

Tbh honest, they are probably like big Sean. I don't fuck about you. Emailed 3 MDs that before about some roles and nothing, 2 months later I get a reply saying if I'm still looking...they don't care

Common decency these days is more the exception to the rule, unfortunately. Keep in touch but not to the point of annoyance. Follow up in a few more weeks/months. It is the end of the fiscal year and administration. In my humble opinion I believe everyone deserves a response--esp if they're in our own firm. You never know when the tables may turn... Also keep in mind this person could potentially become your manager, so you're observing them and their work ethic. Strategy, grasshopper.

@A2 - I can assure it's everywhere, not only consulting.

No

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?
