I left public accounting after a year and three months and went to the IA department at a good size international company. I left my firm at the end of December and had I stayed, I would have been promoted to senior that June but I left because I traveled all the time and I was miserable. When I joined my new company, it took me a while to realize that not every job was as fast paced as public accounting so I struggled for a while with the lack of responsibility (compared to what I had previously). I’ve been there for almost a year and a half now and I am finally getting some responsibility and autonomy when it comes to projects. I also did a presentation related to fraud and was asked by the VP of my department to do a month and a half long project because of it.
I’m technically an entry level employee and I feel like I should be promoted at some point to senior. Since I’ve been there, both my manager and coworker have been promoted and I’m starting to feel like I should be promoted at some point too. I will hopefully have my CPA license in the fall, if everything goes according to schedule, and that’s also the time when we will have a lot of our SOX work nearly done, which is a huge part of our year. Would it make sense to wait until then to ask for a promotion?
I’ve never asked for a promotion before so I’m a little nervous. However, I’ve been working for three years and when I finally get my CPA license, I could probably find a job that is a little higher on the totem pole 🙂 I would like to stay at my current company though.
