@H1 4-5 years, 2 from A to C (that one is actually almost guaranteed) and 2-3 from C to SC. It can be done in fewer years but lately they’ve been pushing more people to 3 years at C (at least in Tech) so don’t expect it to get any easier.

False, know multiple people who went up for SC promo and didn’t get it.

Definitely false.

True. But if you’re really bad, they might hold you back one year. 2-4 years with 3 being the norm. I’d assume if you make it to 5th year without promo, they will politely ask you to leave or switch tracks.

True

When is the milestone year for SC, assuming you start straight out of UG?

Depends on the current year turnover rate

M2 could you elaborate why they didn’t get it?

Not confident, unable to drive client meetings without supervision, can’t make slides that look clean and tell a coherent story, can’t mentor junior team members - a lot is expected of SCs at Deloitte and it’s pretty comparable to manager at firms that don’t have a Consultant level.

Recently promoted to L5 in Strategy & Ops at Google. Feels like a good time to take stock of my career. I don't think I want to pursue a longer career in StratOps, but would like to stay in Google for the foreseeable future. I like the sound of PM roles (but aware it can be hard to transition / secure a role with limited PM experience). Any advice / opinions / warnings from ex StratOps folks OR folks who work with ex StratOps folks in new roles, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
