So are you only depressed because you didn’t get your way with a promotion? For real OP? Can’t you take a few steps back, grow up, and make lemonade with those lemons you have?

Being friendly with people is not the same as giving them confidence you can perform at next level. You may have a perception like that, seems likely given your emotional response.

Was it a normal period of time when you should get promoted? If so, would not assume your partner/SM like or care about you. If it was an early promo, just be patient and focus on other things

I understand. Promotions are 50% political. Was passed over last year for SM last year but made it this year. The politics only keep getting worse with each level. Get used to it or look for another job.

What was the feedback? Did your counselor let you know why you weren't promoted?

@D1 I’m actually joining D. So I was on track for it and according to the leadership “I have a really good chance” but didn’t make it

OP you joining D with the promotion?

OP so going to another firm, did you get the promotion going there?

@EY3 thanks for the feedback

Feel your pain, OP. I’ve been doing exclusively Senior roles, I’ve been given the Senior title on projects, and I’m one of a few SMEs on a certain new topic at the firm. No promotion

@EY5 I’m the engagement manager on the project responsible for the status report and managing resources as well as building MMT and invoices (economics) and they won’t promote

Yes. Planned, designed process flow, built FDS, write UT, SIT and UAT, did training & cimmunicatiions

Remember- Your career is a marathon, not a sprint

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.

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.
