Here's a promotion to Senior Consultant! By the way, it doesn't come with a raise. Also, what a great year you've had! You've exceeded our expectations but I'm giving you a "Meets Expectations" on your annual review. WTAF!

Sorry dude. This sounds like something EY would do.

No… I think promotions with no raise may be a B4 “feature”.

Eesh, that sucks on the no $$ promo.


"You did great and exceeded our expectations, but I'm putting you down as Meets Expectations for [generic reason]."

^I've seen this occur from managers who avoid giving negative feedback even when they need to. So, you might just be average afterall. Hope that helps 😄

Then why promote OP if they are average at the previous level?

Every services firm right now. The future is disrupted and decision makers are under pressure to “do something with AI”. Pilots are easy, scaling is hard. Keep yourself focused on building skills and competency. Never lose sight of your own “value proposition”. I have seen many consultants in my career who lost sight of their own value curve until it was too late
