If you’re not promoted within the general timeline (ie 2-3 years to senior, etc...) is it safe to assume that you will either be coached out or fired?

No. I didn’t get promoted in time to senior but now have great ratings.

I know someone that took extra years to get promoted to senior and then manager, however as a heavy manager now gets very high reviews and raises.

Sometimes it’s due to CPA and not performance issues. I’ve seen some extremely high performers get held back because they didn’t have their CPA

I didn’t get promoted after 2 years to senior

Typically it's not a good sign.

No. Happened to a few people I know. Agree it doesn't look great but it happens.

I know a guy stuck as a senior for 7 years and ended up getting a manager position in a different big 4

After two years, I wouldn’t worry about it. If you’re not going to make it in the third year, I’d say it’s a warning sign that the form doesn’t think you’ll pan out. There are always exceptions tho.

Does anyone have ideas on how to navigate a smaller team environment when everyone’s roles seem to be stretched (hiring for additional people has been taking a while, not sure why).

I try to ignore and just stay focused on what I need to do yet sometimes proves challenging. I worry it might affect my professional/career growth. Thoughts on this would be helpful, thanks!
