Should I leave now or wait till my senior promotion in the summer? Finishing up my second busy season and have absolutely no intention of sticking around for another after the stress this one has caused. I know the rule of thumb is to wait till senior promotion which I would get in August but I feel everyone will be job hopping this summer and it’s better to search now while less people are applying

This great big 4 recruiting and retention debacle will continue well into spring, summer, fall, winter, spring, and summer again. You’ll be fine whatever you decide, however if I were you I would just wait for the senior promo and then jump ship.

Deals/M&A are one of the most hurt practices at any firm. Probably good opportunity there. Def a big problem at KPMG.

It’s infinitely easier to get a job with the title you already have. I would stay until promo. That said your well-being should come first.

My interpretation was that B4 associates are likely to exit to industry associate positions while seniors are likely to exit to industry senior positions. I.e. it’s harder to get promoted coming into a new role than to just wait 5 months

I left 2 months before my Sr. promo and really regretted it. I made a hasty decision to move to the first industry gig with good hours and pay due to piss poor mental health.

After a year in industry and a 1% raise with an exceeds rating I decided to go back to public. The only firm that was willing to let me have a Sr. Title was my old one. A few years later and I'm looking at a manager promo this year and likely leaving again.

Yeah lol. It's pretty sweet, but I left the office in a hurry and didn't bring it home during COVID. I have a feeling someone snagged it off my desk. People always tossed it around when they came by my desk to chat.

I moved to an industry with a senior title. I was technically a senior, but due to the politics at PwC, I was not promoted. As soon as I found out my promotion was denied, I applied for another job and got it. If you think you deserve better, find it now. The opportunities you are looking for may not be available later. All the best.
