ACP Staff-2 here, I didn't get promoted to Senior. Apart from applying elsewhere, what else can I do? Really depressed since although my utilisation was low, I was involved in a lot of internal work.

Same here OP, I've heard there will be more staff 3s than usual. Unfortunately for us they really don't care about internal work

You said 'utilisation' ... are you a U.K. 🐟?

Also - if you got a 3, I would talk to your counselor and CFL. Figure out why, and prod until they say something more than util. Then get everyone clear around what you have to do to make promo happen next year. Since you got a 3, there's no need to look for the nearest exit unless you want to.

DnA, but was on a SAP project doing PMO stuff when I was staffed for 4 months. My util was 58%, shit I know but I work on a white paper and 2 proposals + did some CF work like making/ cleaning presentations etc.

EY2 what practice are you affiliated to?

Do you know your ratings yet, @OP and @EY2?

Don't lost hope OP. Give it another year. Typically PwC associates are at the level for three years

i am curious..which city is this?

Got a 4. Have been staffed the whole time but 6 months was on internal work so my util was also shit. Love how we have to take the internal projects but then they hold it against us 🙄

Wow was analytics pipeline that weak this year? Damn. Sorry

Yup "don't have enough client experience."

I am based out of LA

No one cares about internal projects... except the person you're doing them for. In that case, the sky is falling and you can't get it done fast enough. It's a lose-lose situation. It's held against you, and you're rushed so it's hardly ever the best solution.

this stinks

Hey everyone! At what stage do you think it would be appropriate to share that I am currently on an H-1B work visa? I got reached out by the CEO regarding an opportunity they are recruiting for. I applied and have made it to the final round of interviews that’s this week. In the application they didn’t ask about sponsorship or anything, and I didn’t want to automatically disqualify myself by telling them before giving my final round presentation. My final interview is Tuesday.
