Was passed up for mid-year promotion. I have bi-weekly meetings with my coach (a partner), and was told I was on track for it months ago based on certain metrics. Then last week he said I’m “a rockstar” and that I will be promoted in May 2022 as if our previous conversations never happened. I already sacrificed a promo by moving firms and I feel like I’ve been held back again. Any advice? Feeling demotivated and exhausted considering I’ve been 100% utilized since May.

Have you vocalized any of this to your coach? That would be a great place to start. If it doesn’t happen in May then hold them accountable by leaving.
