Joined EY 6 months ago as an SC after 2 years at another Big 4. HR said I was a shoe-in for Manager. Reviews are good, I manage a team of 10, and I’m billing as a manager. Project just got extended to 2026. Leadership knows I want to promote and seems supportive, but I know it’s not always straightforward. I hear I need to put together a business case and there are two chances a year. Any tips on building a strong case or steps I should take to make it happen?
