Promotion is 7.5%. The real pay increase is when you leave consulting
Not in the current job market… unless you exit to PE ops or something
Been there. The promotion felt like a reward until I realized I was doing way more with barely any increase in pay. You definitely did not mess up, this just happens way too often in consulting.
You didn’t mess up.
A large majority of people at bigger firms are operating at the next level for 12 months before they get the promotion.
Sounds like you had it easy.
Depends on your level. Yes in generally when you first get promoted - especially starting at manager, you'll feel like you're doing double duty. It only gets worse as you move up.
That seems light for a promotion year, but obviously we know little about your situation. I think when I have calculated a comp CAGR it has averaged more than that over the course of my career. I wouldn’t get overly worried about one year, but I would think about potential long term options and shift if there were perpetually low raises. I guess may also depend on what type of consulting you do.
Sorry - the light reference was to the 7.5 someone noted as a promo %.
