Thoughts on the mid-year staff/senior early promo? It would be getting promo to staff effective in April, so after 1.5 year instead of normal 2

Honestly my year, when we were staff 2, we were all senioring due to limited seniors. Atleast this way you get the title and some raise

Yeah, that’s how I feel. most of my engagements don’t have a senior, so now that we have new staff beneath me I feel I’m at least getting some “acting senior” experience

I was in a similar position to you when I was up for senior and got promoted. Definitely sensed animosity from some coworkers and felt like some people didn’t take me as seriously as a senior when the promotion became effective. Not saying you shouldn’t go for it, but just be cognizant of office politics and how it could impact your day to day

You haven’t done enough or seen enough to justify it. Very few could actually do that effectively.

Interesting, I am Bay Area. Agree it seems like seniors have been leaving all summer

Or possibly 2.5 years instead of 2...in either case you don’t get the corresponding raise until the following October so more work and responsibility for the same pay.

This is how it works at PwC for mid year promos, get a small promo raise 1/1 (i got ~7.5%) and then regular annual raise 7/1. Would be shocked if EY promoted you and didn’t give raise

I can confirm mid year promotions is a new thing that was piloted in the West and is now throughout the US. It is allowed at all levels though it should be highlighted that there still needs to be a business case for an early promote so while it is an option, and a really great one at that so people who do deserve it and are functioning at the higher level get rewarded early, I don’t envision it occurring all the time. It will be more like the exception and not the norm.

What? Would you be getting promoted to senior or staff? What is your current title?

I will be staff 2 in October when our ranks at EY get updated

Normal 2 *Kawhi Leonard laugh*

That is how it is at EY... just 2 yr

It is at EY most people get promo staff 2 to senior after 2 years. So this would be 1.5 years instead of 2

Are mid year promos a thing at EY - I have seen one in 8 years?

They just rolled it out

I haven’t seen any mid year promos during my 5 years at EY. Don’t think that’s a thing. Especially for Staff 2 to Senior.

Yes, it’s new.

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?

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
