Is it true that your first two years are static and you can’t get promoted? I already fulfill all SSS requirements, but was downgraded at SS by recruiter by the promise that I can get promoted within a year since promotion cycle is twice a year? I feel awfully betrayed when my coach said first two years are static. Any experiences?

Lesson learned the hard way

Oof shame on the recruiter for making it sound so certain. Fast-track promotions do happen but you need a lot of support, and from the sound of it you don’t have your coaches support. Try to get them on your side and explain that you fulfill SSS requirements and what your recruiter said, and see what your coach says after that.

The recruiter made it sound like I was ready, and just needed to “learn about the firm” a little before moving on to my next position.

Good luck with that !

What’s the rush for promotion? Is it just for a new title (doesn’t really matter)? Better pay (the gap is not that much)?

If you put in the extra time, learned the firm, showed great work and performed at a high level for a greater period that promotion may be worth more in many ways when it does happen. Plus you will have a better network to lean on in the SSS role.

Matter of fact is, I’ve 6 years of experience, I’ve a masters degree, I’m 30, and I’m wayyy behind.

Reach out to the recruiter that said that to you. Anything in writing?
