Is GroupM the only large agency that gets really screwy with promotions or is it like that at the other hold cos? Feels like GroupM tends to promote the people upstairs pretty easily but takes forever at the mid and lower levels.

Pretty standard across holdcos sadly. Up until at least the Executive Director/SVP level you will almost always accelerate your level and comp by moving between agencies as opposed to within them.

It’s like that here ^^

To be fair so much of the promos are driven by if the FTE is available and clients don't often want to increase scope so they need to find it on other places or other accounts and that's hard to do when theyre not bringing a lot in..

Hey Fishes,

Can anyone share their experiences after leaving consulting at Engagement manager / Project leader / CTL level and joining biz ops team in big tech?

Any insights on if and how the team dynamics, expectations etc change?

I am moving to a team full of smart people (based on education and pedigree) but no one with consulting experience (which I think is a good thing?)

Thank you so much for your help!
