I’m feeling the most secure, and the least amount of imposter syndrome than I’ve felt in a long time.

This is how I felt as an Analyst as well 😬

Def not Senior Manager. First year out of MBA (if you weren’t in consulting before). High cost, low value.

If it happens every once in a while, that’s fine. But if it happens consistent then the firm either does a bad job of recruiting the right people or they fail at creating an environment where new people can succeed.

Partner or principal. If you ain’t bringing in the $ or have secured a cushy internal role then often you are toast.

Intern -> analyst -> managing director

But also all of the male managers I’ve worked with have been super insecure on a personal level (very easily offended/triggered, can’t take feedback, etc.)

Are they also 27 and shouldn’t be a manager? This isn’t gender specific - we promote people too early in most cases. I guess we are trying to offer people a vibrant career, but those that have to work for them suffer.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

Been with company for 2.5 years in a SFA role, and they just let me hire an associate financial analyst reporting into me. My manager never mentioned anything in regards to a promotion, but when I asked, I was told that there will be an evaluation period before any promotion is given. Has anyone else had this before, where you are managing someone but they don’t give you a promotion? Sounds bizarre to me that they allow me to hire someone but then are hesitant to promote.
