The firm has begun to educate us on the development and promotion opportunities available to us but it remains more high-level and less specific than I would prefer. There are no specific, discernible metrics by which I can measure myself against to ensure I am within the ambit of a promotion or development opportunity that has been shared with me yet.
Like any good firm, progression takes experience, an interest in the work and a real talent for it, and most of all, a great attitude.
Moving up the ranks appears to be mostly about time. Being good only helps you progress a little faster, but it's mostly time based.
Promotition opportunities are formalised in firm policies. This provides transperancy.
The firm runs sessions of career progression and provides mentors who can inform us of the career progression opportunities
We start to get information about promotions early, but this is not something I have considered yet.
