Is it a written policy that someone on a pace contract who doesn’t attain a level up in their 4 annual PA is put on a PIP? Are the current tight conditions of PA outcomes taken into consideration for such policies?

It is not a written policy, no. Is it taken into account? Not consistently, no. If you are 48 months and not progressing (as opposed to being a promo candidate soon) then maybe.

But this is not a hard rule so don’t catastrophise

I mean you joined consulting to be up or out. Bell curve ratings have never really gone away. Each group has a target to remove from the business and if you are the worst (4 years at level with no promo support shows you are pretty bad) then a PIP should help you sort yourself out or show you the door.

All levels, A3. I am not sure what Kool Aid you were fed but Consulting has always been a dog eat dog career path. You use it to develop, or become an MD. A lot of junior folk seem to be doing the "Inbetween" and acting like it is a job for life.

No. And it depends on what level are we talking.

For L7 and above, there is no theoritical number but you'll be red flagged if no promotion flag in sight.
