Wanted to know if its the same across Deloitte, PwC and other Consulting firms - the quadrant for good ratings
Even if you deliver exceptionally, that is just 1 of the 4 quadrants in which you'll be judged - and it may not be enough to get a good bonus/hike
You need to prove in the other 3 quadrants as well - like generating revenue, certifications,what you are offering to EY in terms of knowledge sharing or training, etc.
