I’m resentful that I didn’t get the manager promotion I was shooting for. I had multiple partners and directors support my case, but I was informed due to the economic state of the firm there were less spots available. I am having a hard time focusing and having to push for another 6 months for another shot at getting promoted. I know I want to get out of consulting, but would you stay for the promotion in the hopes of better exit ops? Or should I apply and look to leave now?

Apply now. But leave not out of spite, but for a better opportunity

I left before my promotion and received a comparable title. Got tired of waiting, hadn’t been given a raise because of COVID, no bonus…So I would say, skill up, revise the resume and get looking. Took a good 9 months before I found what I was looking for. Be patient, it’ll work out.

I was in the same boat as you 12 months ago (except their excuse for lack of promo was different from yours). Got promoted and have been applying to jobs as an EM but the market has softened. If you’re sick of consulting would apply and see what hits.

Ex-pwcer here! I had same situation with PwC and I decided to wait for the next shot, but after that 6 months I was told to wait another 6 months … Hearing that, I felt betrayed, disappointed, not valued at all … bottom line: if you aren’t getting what you want, do you think you can settle? I know I couldn’t, so I left and glad I did! It was the right decision for me.
