What opportunities are out there in private for an experienced audit senior especially given COVID? I'm an S3.

Ideally, I want to stay at GT and become a partner someday.

However, my nightmare would be not being promoted to Manager and having to repeat my S3 year :/
I don't think I can do 4 busy seasons as a senior. 3 is enough 😂

I was told at my year end review that I'm on track for Manager but I am thinking worst case scenario just in case the manager promotion doesn't work out.

Isn’t GT short on seniors? They were when I was there as an S3. I left because I didn’t want to be doing senior-level work as a manager.

Being stuck doing senior work next year would be a nightmare.

Would it be worth it to express my concerns to my higher ups (including my coach and partners/managers I work with a lot) or would this just cause trouble?
