That’s a movie quote

Associate - 2-2.5 years
Associate Consultant - 2-2.5 years
Consultant - 2.5 years
Manager - 4 years
Associaite Principal- no clue
Principal - you made it! 😀

Not accurate, Booz Allen doesn’t have an up or out model. People will work in various capacities and various roles—not everyone wants to manage people or conduct business development activities.

What BAH1 said. I’ve worked with two people, who had been with the firm 15 & 19 years, and they were still Associates because they didn’t want to lead

PwC:
Associate (when you start) (<1 year)
Experienced associate: after your first career round table in May (not a promotion, technically): 2-3 years
Senior associate:2-4 years
Manager: 2-4 years
Senior manager: 2-4 years
Director: 3-X years
Managing director / principle / partner: you made it
First number is always the minimum...most take longer

likeuplifting

...specify your functional track (S&O, Tech, Cyber, etc). In the ex above, SC would need 2-3 yrs in that role before promotion to Associate, and so on.....

After principal you’re actually missing VP, SVP (real “partner,” now with stock), and EVP (“officer” in SEC filings)

like

ACN Strat:
Analyst - 1-1.5yrs (one expected)
Sr Analyst - 1-1.5yrs (one expected)
Consultant - 3-4yrs (3 expected, 2 exceptional, 4 happens frequently) OR Sr Consultant - MBA hire only as C3, 2yrs expected, 1 exceptional
Manager - 3yrs (2 exceptional)
Sr Manager - 3-5yrs
MD (Exec)- 2-4yrs
MD (Sr Exec) - 3-6yrs (2 exceptional)
MD (Director) - Retirement
Sr MD - By appointment

I just made associate in a little under 2 yrs in the aerospace defense market. Not sure about the others though.

Love that all these stop at "partner". I would guess most firms have more levels after partner than before

We number our levels. There's different titles in some of the streams, but you get the idea. Some streams and countries also skip some of the even # levels.

13 intern
12 associate
11 analyst
10 senior analyst
9 consultant / team lead
8 associate manager
7 manager
6 senior manager
5 senior principal / associate director
4 managing director
3 managing director
2 senior managing director
1 executive / C-Suite
