I’m a year overdue for my SAE promotion due to covid and business issues. I was told by my SVP that the promotion is definitely coming before EOY & I just need to “sit tight”. In the mean time I have been interviewing for an associate brand manager role for a smaller CPG company. Is it worth it to make the jump this early if my goal is to go brand side anyway? Or is it worth it to stick it out & get my promotion first? The new salary is also probably higher than my promotional raise will be too

What’s there to even consider? (Besides the fact that you don’t have an offer yet and this is all hypothetical) but seriously, what would be the point of putting off your goal career and a higher salary for a title? You’re just gonna get the new title and bounce? Cause that’s not really beneficial for your career in the long run...just to make SAE to ultimately go client side?? You’re already there lol.

TITLES. DONT. PAY. BILL.

Do it! They didn’t promote you, or can’t. It’s so worth it if someone else will pay you more and get you further in your career. A promotion at your current place could easily be pushed - it’s happened to me more than once in similar situations.

It’s always sort of a pro and con list. Essentially the benefits of leaving (brand-side, $$ etc.) have to outweigh the things that make you want to stay (relationships, interest in the work.) I get it and am in the same boat, was meant to be promoted to ACS months ago.

If leaving is inline with your future goals. Leave before you lose the chance. Money will always come. Finding out where you want to be is important and it gets harder as you get older. Try it out. Good luck!

Title doesn’t trump opportunity. There is also a reality in which you get to the end of the year and do not get that title you were promised. Seen that happen one too many times.

Lots of good advice. I’d echo that a title doesn’t change your value. Experience and ability do. Go now.

Interviewing soon with EY for a senior role (TD FSO). I originally applied for their core practice but the recruiter convinced me that since I’m coming from a financial services audit background, I’d be better suited for their FSO practice. Assuming I get the job, would exit opportunities be worse if I am in FSO instead of the core group? Thanks!

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
