My MD offered me an expanded role with more responsibility, that he said he would make official in a week right when January started. Since then, he went quiet. I was drowning in work in Jan-Feb and did not follow up on it. I met him for a 1:1 in February and I did not bring it up then (my bad, I accept). I have my March 1:1 coming up and will be bringing it up then. But it bothers me as to why he offered something and then went radio silent. Have I lost the opportunity? Anyone seen this before?

Always manage your own career. If you were that busy and you forgot think about how busy it probably was for the MD. It’s fine, just bring it up at your next 1:1.

That’s a helpful counterpoint, VP1. Thanks !

You’re overthinking it. Just ask him.

I am!

Confront the truth and ask a simple question - to quote someone familiar.. “have I lost the opportunity”? Courage and timing on your behalf matter more than the MD’s willful or unintentional negligence.

Lol I knowwww. I guess I overthought that one.

Just ask him. Top of year he’s busy with board level input, annual planning, client planning and a ton of other things likely.

I’m only junior left on my team as my analyst went to another firm. I’m supporting 4 SVPs, and I’ve been absolutely pummeled to death doing cyclical all nighters, on them still to finish last project of my MBA. And my national guard side piece is absolute death with everything going on. I had a lunch with my division head which helped set guidance and expectations as I just was promoted and doing a two grade jump and to VP.

I talk with my MD this week.

Just be open and have a discussion. I was at wits end and wanted to pull my hair out, and then juggling working from home and a 2 year old defiantly in the terrible twos, I was really slipping with work life balance.

Sounds rough. Kudos on the promotion!

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA?

I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.

Thoughts?
