@D2 Awesome point!!

At my firm 3 is the "expected" but still good grade for like 50-60% of people who are still on track for regular promotions. 1 and 2 is reserved for like 20% of people, and those are the guys who get counseled out. Isn't this pretty standard in the industry?

@FSC1- this is exactly what I was worried about. But I guess makes sense

Maybe D different than P...salary won't be different here and D2 nailed it. Most 3/promo cases at P were because someone had soft utilization but strong performance otherwise (qualitatively).

It's not uncommon at all. It doesn't matter. 3 means you are performing the way the firm expects you to. If they didn't like you or think you have a long term future here, they will never promote you! I have counselees in similar boat and I know it's not an issue at all

@C1, yes, but grade inflation is always a challenge.

^Agree. Talk about a bum steer!

They will have you doing manager work but your salary is not as high as that of other managers. lol Deloitte wins, honestly.

Not uncommon. Promotion is the much bigger deal. Congrats!

But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible.
