Left a prominent consulting firm to join EY before getting promoted. Promotion year came around and did not go as planned because I started after the cut-off. Should I bring other offers to the table?

Which table is that?

Why did you plan on a promotion less than a year into your current job? Did they promise it was an option and likely if you hit xyZ targets? I'd honestly be irritated with someone I hired making that assumption on their own and then making it a big deal that it didn't happen.

I12 months is not too long. Do you feel like you’re learning again and otherwise happy now? If so, stick with it. There’s no race

I didn't know about the cut-off period. I was told by both my recruiter and counselor that I had a good shot of getting promoted. I even completed a performance assessment and was later told it would not be reviewed.

That looks like I said 112 months. I didn’t. 112 months feels longer

I meant which practice within EY Advisory. But yes, if you have other offers and would like to stay with EY, I would have that discussion with your partner.

Oh I left early because I was miserable and was not learning.

Which practice?

Present the offers to my engagement partner

Federal Technology Practice

Ask to go for it at mid-year.

If you actually left a prominent consulting firm for EY you would've gotten the promotion with your offer. No one from a "prominent" firm would take an offer near their promotion without a corresponding promotion offer at EY. I've only seen this happen when people come in from lower boutiques or industry

I’ve been working in public accounting (audit) for a year and I don’t enjoy the work and don’t see myself in this position for much longer. I’ve been thinking about going into marketing but stuck on how to get started. I know I have no prior experience, but since I’m early in my career and with taking some courses/certifications (Google analytics, SEO, etc.) to boost my resume, I’m hoping to make the switch. Any advice on where to start, what type of marketing positions I would align with, etc?

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?
