Would it be good to have a candid conversation with my coach about whether I should stay at GT or leave?

Basically I'm a S3 who is hoping to be promoted to manager in six months.

I have my CPA and have gotten positive feedback but I still worry that I'm going to be held back.

It's simple. If I'll be a manager, I'll stay. Otherwise, it's time for me to move on.

I feel like I'm more in the dark especially with our firm cutting mid year roundtables.

You should definitely be having this conversation with your coach. But don’t be afraid to leave GT as an S3 - I did and it ended up being one of the best choices I’ve made for myself.

That's awesome, congrats! Glad you were able to make a move that really worked for you.

Agree with above- and I’m not a manager but I do feel that your coach should’ve reached out about this.

Scheduled a conversation with my coach in the near future. Hoping for the best 🤞 otherwise I'll be sending my resume out.

I'm already getting contacted by recruiters for in house jobs with 20-25% pay increases compared to what I'm making now. Seems silly to stay if I'll be stuck as a S3.

With that said, I'll stay at GT if I'm going to be a manager by August.
