How does PwC tier for bonus work? My partner was promoted to manger but rated at tier 2. I thought she would be tier 1 since she is getting promoted.

Basically what D1 said. Promotion readiness is basically just showing that you are ready to handle next level work responsibilities (more focusing on the ability/capabilities etc) but tiers are based on the impacts you actually made during the yr (compare to others)
So for example, senior A created an efficiency solution (either by building an automated tool or streamlining the process) for a specific process which saved hours for multiple teams for this market sector, other than that though senior A has not yet demonstrated ability to perform at manager level (did not perform acting manager level responsibility or demonstrated ability to lead teams/manage clients), so likely senior A would receive tier 1 because of the impacts he/she made but not necessarily manager promotion.
On the other hand senior B was performing acting manager on project A and demonstrated that he/she can lead the charge. But since his/her impact was probably more limited to his/her own teams compare to senior A, senior B likely gets their manager promotion but a tier 2 rating.
You are right that a lot of times performing at next level is considered going above and beyond which means high impact but because impacts are assessed in a relatively term (compared against your peers) and there could always be those peers in your group that made impact to a broader team or on a bigger account that when we quantify the impact in terms of dollars or hours saved/earned they become tier 1 and the promotees don’t need to be that top tier to get promoted bc even if their impact were less compared to tier 1 that didn’t change the fact that they demonstrated readiness in next level and ready to be promoted.
So getting getting promoted with a tier 2/3 is actually very common - it really depends on how the rest of your peers performed.
And to some extent the bigger the accounts you work on (those big clients that bring in huge revenue for the office) the more visible and impactful your efforts would be, or the more teams you are able to make an impact on the bigger the result would be. So to get tier 1 (especially when your peers are all high performers) you need to be a little strategic about how can you make your efforts more visible

You can be tier 3 to get promoted although that is rare

It’s not weird unless you only believe truly extraordinary people should be promoted.

Promotion readiness and impact are viewed separately at PwC. Who gets promoted is based on business needs. Impact is relative.

I don’t know the answer for sure, but the way I understand it is that the tiers really just recognize you for extra things you do, like organizing office events, volunteer work, etc, as well as having a super high utilization (working overtime).

So the bonus is connected to the Tier rating to thank you for going above and beyond.

But getting promoted still needs to have a business case for client needs / company needs / overall firm budget.

Just being super involved in the office events and being impactful in the “culture” of the office doesn’t necessarily translate to the firm needing another person in a higher position.

Sm1 is correct. To put it in the most simplest terms. Pwc tier a raise and bonus tier, not a progression ranking.

Do I apply with an employee referral or via LinkedIn recruiter that reached out? Alternatively, if anyone has experience applying/at NBCU, I’d so appreciate general advice :) TIA.
