Is there a typical amount of time someone usually spends as a staff accountant before moving up to a senior pay grade? I’m starting to look at my next steps, and I want to know if my current timeline is standard for the industry.

I had a discussion with my advisor and they said that the average promo cycle from staff to senior is 3 years. 2 years is considered accelerated.

I’m an accountant over 20 years with an MBA in business analytics, the title of my position was staff accountant. I voiced my concern, they said it didn’t mean anything within the company, but it does on if you apply for another position. I passed the position up once because of the title.

Depends on your organization and if you are in PA or industry. In PA it's a bit more straight forward where in industry it varies based on your company's size, budget, and needs.

True

Depends if your firm has staff 1 and 2. Around 2-3 years from staff 2 to seniors is a reasonable expectation.

Agreed

No, I think the title Staff Accountant is used loosely.

Hello Technie's,
I am in a confused state of mind with my current situation & I can surely use some advice from you guys.
I'm working with a product company for almost 5+ yrs now & recently decided to separate from them for obvious compensation reasons.
I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
