I was beginning the promo process at my firm but my manager said that the leadership direction is that financials cannot support all promos this cycle since the demand is 8 times what they were expecting. My overall feedback is positive from delivery perspective (93%+ utilization), great client feedback in lead roles, and I have promo sponsors from managers on my project. I’m involved in internal efforts too so I’m well rounded IMO. Is this the new norm due to the economy or firm specific?

It’s practice specific, which may get influenced by broader directions from your firm leadership. Your practice should be able to financially support your new salary and they should have a business case for headcount changes (promo, new hire etc). That is always a factor ,regardless of economy .

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.
