You’d be surprised how quick you can scale up in the B4. Most PPMDs take at least 10 years. Not too bad
There are other firms and 3 other big 4s. Why stay somewhere that does not value you? You were and will be used to build the careers of the people who they hired over promoting you. Hell with that.
Just don’t want to become a perennial job hopper and get stuck at the next role (would be my 3rd company). It feels like a risk to leave a team that I like for a better title/ pay but uncertainty on new team dynamics. Even though I’m frustrated by what I’ve mentioned, I do like the people I work with.
If you’re in audit I would seriously consider that FP&A job. Audit raises are gonna be low and work is gonna be high. You didn’t give a lot of context but a PE firm is gonna give you pretty good experience if you’re willing to put in the work.
Also, associate to senior associate is not a big jump. Firms aren’t going to double promote an associate unless there’s an outstanding reason.
Also, also - if you’re in audit, I would
Personally I wouldn’t move just for a title. Big4 is very proportion-date structured. It’s a long term career, just keep doing good work. That’s my two cents.
I disagree big four senior stamp on the resumé can open doors.
If you like the people enough to make you think about it and the work itself isn’t frustrating you, keep your job. Job hopping isn’t the worst thing you can do as long as you follow the market. Typically people don’t leave in less than 2 but not past 3 when not seeing growth. But bear in mind this can vary by industry. In public accounting you can be a staff 2-3 years (dependent of firm), senior 3 years, manager 2-3 years and so on. I find a lot of young staff have such an urge or rush to get promoted for the bragging rights of being “good enough to be a senior” for example, but can’t tell you how to know if a trial balance works (dramatic example to make the point). 1 year extra won’t matter in the grand scheme. If anything that’s one extra year to be that much better. But if you see you’re getting played and growth isn’t in your future that changes things. Then I would say get out.
Are you currently in public accounting?
Okay. The truth is hiring is sometimes seemingly unfair, but in the grand scheme of things they should even out. Also, the larger the company the larger it is to do off cycle promotions and the less input your direct supervisors may have in overall hiring, salaries, role, etc. If I were you, I would make it very clear that you want to be promoted asap but I wouldn’t leave a team I otherwise liked to get promoted a year earlier because you could hate that team and work double to get brought up to speed.
Well if you are in BIG4, who gets hired is not determined by your team and it's definitely not a slight against you. That's HR. Also people get hired based of what they put on their resume. Someone can be hired into a role because of other skills and experience and have to learn the task of the new role they are hired into. So stop making this about you.
