Don’t let anyone answer this for you. Most are just rehashing what those have said in this app. Most will tell you it’s manager level but it really just depends on your skill set and what opportunities may be available to you at the time. Probably most important is whether you’re ready to make that exit or not...that’s probably the best time

Always gets me when ppl ask subjective opinion questions. Is it just for a poll? All depends on your situation and preferences

The best time is whenever you just got promoted and got your bonus. Regardless of level.

Manager and Partner are the best exit opps, Consultant and Senior Manager are the worst

Why is consultant the worst ibm 1?

To add to OP’s question, at what level should you consider an MBA if you want to pivot elsewhere?

D1 has it right in my opinion. Especially if you are able to get a higher comp than what your new promotion offers. The “best” level varies for everyone based on personal circumstances and career goals, but for me it was at Manager level.

For Deloitte I'd say Manager

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)
