Makes sense....In the states, most folks graduate from college at age 22-23 and it would take 5 years to be promoted to manager at Big4.

What would you do

Make manager then switch. Your income will grow much quicker once you make manager and then make a couple of strategic moves.

Okay thank you for the advice !

Lol

Manager title and VP title are al relative. If your skills and experience warrant the title you shouldn’t have any problem. If you’re qualified for a VP role while a SA then apply. They’re not going to decide to hire you or not hire you into a role just because of a title in a completely different organization.

Friendly tip from a former recruiter & HR PM.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

Tell the recruiter,” I need to interview to learn more about the specific details of this opportunity before I’ll know how much I need to accept a potential offer…”

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.

The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.
