no - will most likely get put on a performance improvement plan. don't screw up again or you'll be gone.

The SM who you didn't get along with was your project manager, I take it? In this job, performance ultimately comes down to project work. Excelling at PRD will take you from a 3 to a 2 or a 2 to a 1, but bad project work will take you down to a 4. Focus on getting excellent reviews for all project work.

OP I got a 4 and a PIP my first year. Since I've been a 1 most years and been promoted twice. So it's possible.

Yeah most likely just a PIP. Counselors don't do the firing.

Utilization target is actually 75% for first-year campus hire analysts due to training and whatnot but yeah 95% thereafter. I managed to get off my PIP but I'm not sure what the overall success rate is. I imagine many people left rather than try to work through it.

^My counselor did this as well to me (second yr analyst) and I got a 4 and no promo. Counselors have too much power in our career, especially at low levels. OP you got boned as hard as I did but lest you got a year to make it up. Get a new counselor asap.

Why do counselors lead people on telling them they will tell you something at a later time and not just tell them straight up?

SC1 yeah you are right about the number. I did a tons of PRDs and networked. But my counselor did little due diligence though I provided him with lots of names. I felt at the edge of being fired since Apr. Sigh.

What's the process of being let go?

Thanks folks btw

And what's the chance of getting off PIP?

Why a 4?

Is your counselor a PPMD. If no, then your not getting fired. If yes, is there a invite with a Skype link?

In EY, it is rare..

Joined in Feb and utilization target is 95%. Finished with 69% due to factors out of control. And one SM gave me 4 ratings as we just didn't get along. Other feedback is positive so I didn't get a 5 I guess. Lesson learnt hard way.

@D4 because some news is probably better delivered over the phone where you can have a conversation rather than via email?

D2 a first year for a feb hire is through march, so they begin a new performance year starting then and have abnormal expectation of utilization. What did you do, OP, while not charging?

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
