Fellow Account Managers, what would be your go-to advice or tips based from your experiences when transitioning from a AE to an AM role within an agency setting.

No matter what level you are, the answer to this question is always - find a job description for the higher level job at your company, start doing all the things listed in it, take the list to your boss and ask them what more you need to be doing to get the promo.

Agreed! Also helps to figure out if you're willing to switch accounts in order to get that title versus staying put on your existing account. Each account is structured differently based on retainer/scope etc

I recently (within 6 months) transitioned to a new role at my job which was supposed to be a promotion. But they've just been having me audit and haven't finalized my new job duties. They said they have plans but that I'll be auditing for several more months. I'm about to have my performance review and just received a job offer at another company. Is there a good way to leverage this respectfully? I ultimately want an action plan for growth, a concrete job description, and a pay increase.

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
