Can someone at PwC and Strategy& explain the Associate to Senior Associate promotion? It seems like some people get it and some people don’t after 2 years unlike other firms where the promo is daily automatic.

It’s three years at PwC

S& requires 2 full years before eligible for promo, which you will not hit before your 2nd CRT. This means your first promo opportunity is midyear before your 3rd CRT

As others have said - the “standard” path is 3 years but many can do it in 2. It is very much not automatic though, it’s a promotion that must be earned via demonstrated readiness and performance just like any other promotion level and there’s probably more competition for SA promotion than nearly any other level.

It’s definitely not an automatic promo at S&. You need to earn it. It comes with a significant pay bump.

I am feeling hopeless. I’m a tax senior been through 4 busy seasons with Deloitte. The tax I’m in is pretty niche and I kinda wanna leave tax all together since I wanna start a family and personally can’t do it with another busy season. I don’t know who is willing to hire me because I feel pigeonholed. I’m just hating every moment with this firm right now. Any advice on what positions/companies might be best to look into?

Thanks everyone.
