Principal telling me that I have all the capability to move forward to Manager but “just wants a few more practice reps” before official promotion consideration.

What does this mean? Doesn’t it seem contradictory? This person I know has my best interests but they are confusing me with this.

Don’t forget the firm is all about profitability. There can only be so many positions at the different levels of the hierarchy. Another option is he could be telling you there isn’t room in the pyramid structure right now, its not likely the promotion fits the budget...

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
