Is early promotion to manager really a personal dream of yours?? You need better dreams.

Ehh dream, goal, potato potahtoh. No reason to knock someone for having career ambitions
Talk about it more specifically. Ask what it means to function as a manager and what the gaps are. Understand that and look for ways to demonstrate that you have closed them over time. Best case you early promote, worst case your more ready when it happens
I was in the same boat last year and I really wish it was never brought up. People used it against me all the time. “Well if you want to be manager you would take on this extra work” “a manager would have said this” all of a sudden I went from all praise all the tome to just criticized and dangled like a carrot. Promotions are not worth it. I tell my early to senior people that all the time. Best thing I ever did is not pass my exam so I could be a 3rd year associate. Everyone was soooo thankful and appreciative of my great work. Then when I became an actual senior I had already dont it for a year and continued to impress. Expectations change everything.
You need to think about why you really want to early promote. Is it a goal because you just want the title and recognition of having gotten it early? Do you truly feel you are ready and deserving? If you haven’t already started acting as a manager then it’s really hard to say whether you’ll be ready or not. People get in a rush to progress in their careers and fixate on doing it faster than others and they lose sight of the experiences they’re gaining in their current role. I was approached about early prompting to senior manager and told my leadership that while I appreciated their confidence in me I would rather stay at the manager level for the 3rd year. The higher up you go the higher the standards and expectations are so you need to be sure that you’re ready. Being a high performing senior that is viewed as a manager for a year is better than being a mediocre manager that’s trying to catch up. Not saying you would be mediocre, just things to consider.
Jobs.
Throughout the year, ask for feedback constantly. Phrase it as - is there anything that concerns you about my promotion? Is there anything that makes you hesitate about supporting my promotion? That should help get the little things from people.
