Bain & Company What is the likelihood of making SAC in September 2022 if I join as an AC on April 18th at Bain & Company? I am a senior consultant at EY with 3.5 years of experience in Data Analytics. Or is March 2023 more realistic? They told me 6 months for promotion but it seems like the two promotion cycles with my different start dates give me 4 or 9 months of experience, nothing in between. I’ll be joining in the private equity group which will be new for me.

Someone didn't stick up for you at round table
My advice - become the most reliable person! Become a Toyota!! You don’t have to be great at what you do or understand everything, but people have to be able to count on you to get things done and communicate when it’s needed the most. Don’t get me wrong, you still have to understand conceptually, but more importantly people should be able to count on you for anything. Under promise, over deliver. That’s how people start seeking out your time and coming to you for work rather than anyone else. While you might say, “let them go somewhere, less work for me” - well that’s how you end up with 70% then
Or, it’s time to get your utilization up? Isn’t 85 the ‘goal’ (meaning minimum) and most staff and seniors are in the 90s if not higher?
MA1 I could not agree more. We have a staff who is commentant but the reason I always pull their free time is exactly that. They're so reliable, always jump at every task they're given and know how get the job done. They might not be the most technically proficient but I'd rather have that staff any day of the week.
I don’t want this to sound harsh, but think of it like this. You can’t go out there and try to get put on things, it can work, but that’s not how that game is played. You have to make people want to come find you and seek out your time. Not sure if that helps.
70% as an excuse for not being promoting sounds like a nice way of saying you're nowhere near ready to being promoted
What's your goal for the year?
