It never looks good if you go up when you're not ready. If you're solid and it's just a bad year, though, that's no problem.

Thanks for the input. My metrics, snapshots, sales figs are all there, but I was planning on waiting at least a year or so (1st year SA here) until my RP said he wanted me to push for it. Whether I'm fully comfortable at M1 is another question entirely.

You're a first year SA? I mean, I don't know you, but I think going for manager is a pretty long shot if you just got promoted to SA. Are you already billing clients at a manager rate?

I completely agree with your thought process here. RP wants me to try, so I'm alright with pushing for it (who wouldn't want the chance for early promo?). But, until we discussed it I hadn't given it a thought. Wanted to make sure I wasn't screwing myself

Are you consistently billing at a manager rate? That's generally the benchmark for whether you'll get the promo.

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.
