When I leave Big4 hoping to get a job at the Senior level, so do I need to wait to promote to Senior for that? Or can I start applying a little earlier with the anticipation of it happening? Ideally would like to have a job lined up and quit ASAP once I hit Senior.

If I read resumes and I see they left a job straight after promotion and didnt actually have experience at that level I would question whether they’re going to do the same to me

There is always a mass exodus after promotions. Maybe not the day after but very soon after. Seeing people leave B4 after promo is not a red flag lol.

Also, every single one of us is effectively operating at the next level before the promotion anyways; that's how we earn it.

I would wait for it to be effective. Otherwise, your resume would remain as a staff. It looks good to be promoted by a Company compared to only promoted through job hopping.

like

You'll be informed of the promotion a month or two before the official promote date.

You can tell the recruiters you got the promote effective 7/1 and wait until after to officially switch

Just write on your resume that you got promoted to manager after working for a year. Worked for me lol. Left B4 now I’m a senior manager at 26.

Truly living fake it til you make it. Nice work dude.
