Recently switched to a media planning role (lateral move, have been with agency for nearly 2 years). How long do I wait for them to promote me before I look elsewhere?

entirely new position is a reset on time spent in previous position... you won't get promoted any earlier than 8 months.

^ ^ @Saatchi1 Agreed...I'd even go as far as saying not for at least a year.

@Original Poster - Patience is virtue. Most people don't get promoted solely because they've been there a long time. Understand and conquer what's expected of you in your new job description. Once you've done that, and have started to tick-off a couple things on the description for the next step up, then you should have some proof of being worthy and ready to be promoted.

Thanks, everyone. Totally understand you have to work your way up to it. I've worked really hard at my current agency in both roles. This was more of a case of the little green monster creeping in...folks I originally did general training with have moved up and I'm still at the same level, so it's been a bit disheartening.

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally. They have limited quota every year, and are very choosy when it comes to allocation. Preference is first given to EU nationals and then Asians during shortlist stage.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.
Tl/Dr. If you couldn't get hired as a cloud engineer or cloud consultant - you probably can't become a PM

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA?

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
