It happens, but it is rare. I was a mid-year promote (after 2.5 years) to manager a couple of years ago The decision is mostly based on need and you probably need to have a partner or heavy director to support your business case.

They aren’t that common, because why weren’t you promoted in July like normal? I’ve mostly seen it with experienced hires who get hired in the spring so they aren’t eligible for the first promotion cycle

That’s my situation. I’m an experienced hire with almost three years under my belt. I’m switching service lines so they brought me in as an experienced associate rather than senior.

I think the change of LoS is what is more the thing with that. PwC tends to under-rank for other B4 hires since we do 3 years before senior for the vast majority of cases

I joined in January, so got mid year promotion in January 3 years later. Seems to be another scenario it happens for
