Is there a quicker way to get promoted from analyst to consultant? My position is below my experience. I was looking at the requirements for some open consulting roles, and I met or exceeded them all. Could I apply for a consultant position as a current Accenture analyst?

There are a couple of keys for promotion;

1) Know the route - You probably need to be promoted to Senior Analyst first

2) Time at Level - Unless you are doing something amazing, you will need a full year at both Analyst and Senior Analyst.

3) Talk to your current project lead and ask if you are showing the characteristics of the next level. If not, ask what you can do to get there. Meet with this manager monthly. Getting your current project to “put you up” is very important.

4) Speak with your People Lead and have them support you. They will ultimately share your story. It is best when they are working with your current project.

5) Plus 1s are very important to make your story stand out. If you plan to align to a specific practice, get known there. Volunteer to support your project MD too.

DM me if you want a 1-1 coaching session. I will give you my honest opinion. I am L5 in C&S. US based
