Is it common for your firms to give dec/Jan promotions? Seems like it’s mostly for seniors passing CPA to become manager. Could potentially help if I ever pass CPA.

From my experience mid year promotions are for rare situations typically involving high performers and usually people who can’t pass the cpa in the 4-5 years before they are up for manager are usually not high performers

In my experience (because I’m actually getting promoted mid year this year) if there’s a need then yes, potentially high performers will get promoted mid year, but it’s meant for those who started mid year and reach their 3 year/X year mark at mid year. I have also heard of a senior moving to manager mid year in my practice but he was a very very high performer, selling a lot of work and we needed managers in our market in his practice

We have been hiring a lot of January folks lately and just last year was our office’s first round of standardized January promotions. My understanding is it is effected as an out-of-cycle raise but in terms of class, the January hires are grouped with the folks hired after them in July/August so they will probably have to be here 5.5 years to make manager. Typical promos for us are effective 7/1.

ETA: These promos were for associates being promoted to senior. I didn’t hear of any seniors moving to manager in the January window.

Uncommon. It only happens when there is a desperate need.

Uncommon but doable if you’re a high performer or if you’re only being held back from supervisor bc of CPA and you pass CPA around that timeframe

Need + high performer but even then it's not a guarantee. Why pay someone more for work they are likely already doing?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role.

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
