Is firm contribution work mandatory for solution analysts to get promoted to solution specialists? Can an analyst get promoted to specialist just by having high utilization and performing "as expected"?

It’s officially required there was an email sent a while back.

It became required last year. Before that SA was technically exempted from doing FI in order to be promoted to SS

I believe prior to 2022 it was still required to be promoted but not required if you weren’t going for promotion.

For consulting?

Pretty sure the “official” answer is yes. But also, the unofficial answer is also yes just because you need to make sure you’re actually standing out and performing “at the next level”

It is required

What if we are a first year solution consultant? I only started in July, have been on a project the whole time but haven’t been able to find any FI for me.

Welcome😊

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
