Has anyone successfully put themselves forward for a promotion that skips a grade? We were recently issued a refreshed framework, and I can evidence meeting all but one of the criteria for two grades above mine consistently over the last 6-12 months. It seems like a reasonable goal, but I don't know how rigid the business will be :/

Skip promotion are a thing, but they are very rare for obvious reasons at most firms.

Also , it’s annoying , but getting promoted is not a checkbox exercise. The criteria is used for guidance but not decision. In this case you will need strong support from 3-4 levels above you. If you think you can convince them, go for it.

It may very well be valid, but at this I just want to stop it and figure out what subscription lapses. How can I do that?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
