We reviewed everybody holistically and while we think you’re growing and performing at the next level, we think you’d benefit from another year at your current level.

Translation: Let us underpay you for another year

Oh also - you’ve been performing at the next level for the past six months but we really need to see a year of that before we move you up

I was told the exact same thing (for a C-> SC move)

“Even though your performance has been excellent, you’ve taken a leadership role, passed a certification with utilization of over 110%, I’m just not sure you’re always working a full 8 hours, so you’ll move up when the time is right” coming from my boss who only shows up half the time.....

Not quite the same but I once had a brand new manager try to convince me that if I held off on fighting for a promotion this cycle, she’d promote me two levels during the next cycle. She had no idea if this was even possible. I volunteered to show her emails from other firms that had been courting me. I got a promotion

Despite 125% billable utilization and three service line partners supporting promotion, I wasn’t showing enough leadership within my team to move from SC to Manager

Sorry, I decided you need an arbitrary cert before I’ll fight for your promotion (not formally required, but it would make a good argument)

We are currently in a hiring freeze. It will be hard to promote.

I had a panel interview two weeks ago. I sent the recruiter a status check email last Friday and haven't heard back. I'm really interested in this company and still see the role posted on their site. I'd like to send another email today (to the hiring mgr and recruiter) reiterating my interest along with a list of references. Thoughts on sending the references without them asking? I don't do well with panel interviews and I'm hoping they look past that and check my references.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
