Should I bother waiting for promo to start applying if I’m looking to stay in consulting short term or would I come in at ~entry level regardless?

2 YOE at ACN Strat, expecting promo to C in Nov. Generally like the work, but feel I could make more while working same or similar hours.

Current base 100k, ~6% bonus, expecting that to go to ~130k (?) with ~6% bonus after promo.

Wait for promo - once you hit C things get a loooot easier and you can ask for more.

C1 What did you end up choosing?

like

does that mean you're officially a C in Nov or just informed you'll be a C? Because if the later then depends on how far till you can have that new title on resume.

I officially became a C at ACN Aug 1 - off cycle. Once you are notified of your promo I think you’re good to change title on resume.

I had started looking prior to knowing for sure if promoted but few took me seriously til official title change. (I’d get offers but they’d be sub 100k)

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Not sure who else in the company is involved/aware - he's my only point of contact. I'm 6 mths into the job and enjoy it, but this is a major red flag. Should I find a new job or hold my ground and see what happens?

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
