How often do you see a promotion made in the middle of a cycle? Have been told by my manager that they will consider giving me a promotion in a month but our company’s review cycle is in May. Is this likely or should I not expect anything from it? I am not keeping my hopes up but just wanted to test the waters with other perspectives.

I normally do not see many in the middle, but that’s not to say it never happens. Probably depends on the circumstances and whether they are equipped to give one without too much hassle. It only being a month or two off could make it go either way.

At executive levels, often due to a need for a leader to fill the role asap. For a lower level, close to zero unless there was an administrative need (such as a manager promotion to take an international assignment).

Thanks for the info

If it’s between a Late March promotion vs a May promotion on the normal cycle, I don’t really see why they wouldn’t wait the extra 1-2 months to stay on cycle.

I just want more money…

This was in industry, not consulting, but my friend got a promotion outside the regular annual cycle completely out of the blue, so it does happen. This was after knocking on the door the previous cycle, and was a mix of retention and business need (expanding team head count and giving them a direct report)

Do I go for a promotion even though I’m being told it isn’t a home run? Is there a backlash/ detriment to declaring for one and not receiving? Would I be wasting folk’s time? This is my first run at a promotion outside the Army.

Any Bridge Engineers/Structural Engineers in here? I got my PE this year and have 5 YOE in TX + an MS. What sort of raise would you expect for receiving your PE working in a consulting firm? I am EOR on a number of structures in development, I manage EITs and Drafters (within projects; I'm not a supervisor), and am doing a lot in general. I'm at 78k currently, which is apparently still in the upper range of EIT salaries per a job posting in CO. I'm thinking of 15% (5% merit, 10% PE). Any ideas?

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?

I don’t think it is. I didn’t receive a sign on bonus so no additional consideration was exchanged from my understanding of my law classes.
