Working in Big4 as a senior but haven’t been promoted to manager yet(been here 3 years) and doesn’t look like i will be promoted this year either.
Im wondering if i start applying to other ‘lower’ tier tech consulting companies with a higher salary, will that be a smart choice? Or should i focus on getting into a ‘high tier’ company

Do you know why you are not getting promoted?

I have been thinking about this a lot and it seems im not much into extra curricular activities for the practice. I do a good job in my engagement, but i guess thats just not enough

Keep your options open but apply for jobs that offer you a lot more than current in terms of growth, compensation and responsibilities. You deserve the best

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant?

I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).
