Not sure how you go or don't go for it? You mean saying you'll leave if no promo? That's a bad idea. The thing with promos is you're constantly working towards it. And the best way is to just do a good job and own that.

Depends on your market. I've worked in markets where 2 is the norm and some where 3 is the norm. Always work toward the next goal, but if you're in a market where 3 is the norm, don't go crazy trying to be the all star to be the only person promoted early. It won't really matter in the long run, and you may wear yourself out and also burn bridges with your peers

It's all your perspective. You should always want it, regardless of what others think. And it's total normal to be promoted to senior in two years.

It's about an 30/70 split in my office/group. 20 go for senior and 80 don't
