Principals:
Project Managers:
Analysts:
Hope this helps.
Hi there,
This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:
In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to get promoted fast (since you seem to be concerned about this), please feel free to contact me directly.
I hope this helps,

Hi there,
Pedro has a super comphrensive answer here (love it).
Just to simplify it a bit, as you move up the ranks you progressively move away from “doing” (powerpoint, excel, etc.) and more towards “thinking” (feedback, reviewing, setting up projects, etc.) and relationships (client management, winning projects, etc.)
