Just got an offer with Accenture. How does start date and timing of annual performance review impact promotion? Is it more advantageous to start at a certain month of the year?

We are on a fiscal year - September 1st to August 31st. Performance discussions take place between May and August. I wouldn’t say your friend got screwed as they didn’t have anything coming their way since they started so late. Your start date would have to be, at the latest, around end of March to be considered for performance bonus.

What level did you get the offer for?

A current employee told me “they got screwed because they were hired in July.” I don’t really understand what this means.
How does timing work?

Start as soon as possible. The sooner you start the more likely you are to progress a year during review. Also your time at grade will be a month higher if you start feb 28 v March 1. The extra month may help.

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.
