This is my first promotion cycle at PwC. Do I need to have “ready to be considered for next level” in all of my reviews to get promoted? If utilization is above the requirement and all my reviews are great, but haven’t had a “ready for next level” yet, is that going to hold me back?

Based on my experience yes, if you are ready you’ll receive reviews show that you are ready. Talk to your DL and see what they think, if they are supportive they might push for you regardless

I still have a few snapshots to complete so hoping these can push it past the finish line. Also came in as a lateral so not my first year, and have the highest utilization in my group for my level, so can only assume that helps.

I found it interesting how people could be not ready at PwC for like 2 years but then once you hit that 3rd year, dozens of people were now 'there' all of a sudden. ratings and promotions are basically BS and favoritism plays into it a ton. just do a good enough job and get a couple supervisors on your side over time and you'll be ok, unless you want to drive yourself into the ground trying to be a partner.

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)

Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?
Or the promotion for the mid year already done?
I see for many people the designation has changed but for me it's not. I was under the impression that the promotion happens after the mid year discussion or after the year end discussion.
Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
