I’ve seen about a year for the first 3 roles, then most people I’ve seen for the next two roles it can take 2 years or more even if you’re good.

If you’re really excellent, one year between each role.

It has taken me one year to be promoted for each role so far; AAE to AE, AE to SAE

I started as an AAE in the summer of 2013, and I made VP in fall of 2019. I’ve worked at three agencies, so a solid mix of internal promotions and changing agencies for title/pay bumps.

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.

Are there any workaround for this? Like I can use external keyboard or maybe negotiate, anything else?
