So I’m an A3 & supposedly up for promotion. My first snapshot from my manager is at level for a couple and partially at next for the rest. I still have 2 more to send out. I really don’t wanna stick it out any further if I don’t get promoted (never even heard of an A4) is there anyway to find out before June if I am/am not getting promoted? So that I can leave ASAP if it doesn’t look like I will.

I’ve met individuals who were promoted in 3.5 years instead of the standard 3. There may be a delay, but you may be promoted in January, if not in June.

However, it should not be a surprise whether you’re promoted or not. There should’ve been conversations throughout your promotion year to understand if you are going to be promoted or not.

There is a good chance that you won't get promoted. Promotion or non-promotion to senior should not be a surprise.

It might be best to look around and see if you can leverage a senior position somewhere else before the decision to not promote you becomes official.

I would suggest that you give them permission to be straight with you and say whether they think you should start looking elsewhere. Otherwise people will dance around the issue.

You Don’t need next level to be promoted. Many ppls being promoted at level for all.

If they want to promote you, they would have tried their best to give you at next level on everything then have a candid discussion on what you need to focus at the next level. Agree that promotion should not be a surprise so if you still don’t know if you have their full support at this point, I would start looking to line yourself up somewhere else. Don’t waste your time waiting. Also, if you don’t have all dimensions at next level, HR might push back on why you are getting promoted. It’s not impossible to get promoted with at or partially next level, but it’s definitely a harder fight for your RL.

Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone.
