Are you this junior consultant?
That being said; we have some associates working to senior consultant level; and some some directors who don’t even know how to convert a PPT to a PDF…
Is this talented junior consultant in the room with us right now?
Pro
Yeah but theyre sulking in a corner somewhere
Mate, below the Partner or pre-Partner level, every consultant at every firm is 100% fungible. And even at the top, firms will survive losing talent.
Seems like you’re responding to an assertion I didn’t make, C1.
Losing 1 talented person vs having 50,000 people ask for out of cycle raise… It’s the same reason you don’t negotiate with terrorists.
Using AI to draft a complaint when that consultant doesn’t understand how a business works shows why Capgemini Invent North America considers this person unregretted attrition
Who is this addressed to? Guarantee senior leadership don’t care about anecdotes like this. They care about statistics e.g., 25% unforced attrition vs. one dude or lady complaining
Out of cycle promotions generally dont happen in professional services / finance firms with “up or out” models.
Are you benchmarking against the consulting industry or something else?
It’s fine we’re not saving lives
Bad idea to take a short term view and expect out of cycle rewards when they have been ruled out. Better to concentrate on building a long term career which will bring much greater rewards. In a few years you’ll look back and see it - if you are really any good.

Dw we lost one of ours to Cap invent in the UK so it evens out.
No one below the grade of a D2 maybe even E1 is worth over-extending to retain. If you aren’t senior enough to bring in business, you’re expendable. Plain and simple.
Yes, delivery is important. Yes, junior talent eventually become senior enough to bring in business. But there’s no A, B, or C worth going through a promotion or salary increase exception process to keep.
I’ve been part of convos where PMs have suggested going to Courtney and her predecessors to ask for retention bonuses/huge increases for grades A-C. There was almost legitimate laughter
can i get a referral?
