Had mid-year reviews last week. As a senior reviewing the staff, management said no staff are ready for senior promotion. Doesn’t this look bad on management that they can’t promote from within?

So management is saying not a single staff is ready? Does BDO usually promote to senior after 2 staff years. Last year no one that was a staff 2 didn't make it to senior in my group.

Maybe they don't want to give the senior raise or title? Afraid people might leave? Sounds fishy to me.

Maybe that is common during mid year, but likely to be considered ready by end of the year?

Weird as they are recruiting for risk at all levels? You would think they would want to promote from within?

I had a great review and a 5.5% raise and a great bonus at my company. But I also got a new Director and a peer manager of mine left the company, so I will be absorbing her team. In addition, my director said I will be receiving 'deep delegation' from them. I don't mind more work, but deep delegation is a new term I've never heard. What does that mean lol?

Baby Professional here - I was just given the second half of a promotion into Tier 2 for my company, on course for a Tier 3 promo in the next 6mo to 1yr. It's a smaller company and I believe they are willing to pay to grow my talent as I've already done very well with deliverables and all metrics thrown my way.

My questions is how much do I ask for at the Tier 3 promotion? Since they divided the Tier 2 promo into two smaller rasies, I've landed at 55K. I want to ask for an appropriate amount.
