At CR, we do our round tables in May, and make the decision to promote or not in June. Promotions are announced to the firm on July 1, and take effect on 9/1. Raises/new salaries are communicated approximately in the end of August and hit in the 9/15 pay check.

Not sure what you mean about your second question. Utilization is the amount of hours you charge to client codes. Our work week is based off of 37.5 hours, so to get a utilization percentage for the week, you’d take your charged hours to clients and divide by 37.5 (ie 37.5 hours charged to clients is 100% utilized)

Heard it will be in person end of July for training

7/1 for PwC, but we also have mid-year promotions effective 1/1

Should I have to constanly advocate for myself in order to ensure I'm receiving market comp? About 3 years ago I decided to test the job market and realized I was being paid 20% less than I could get elsewhere. When I told my boss I was quitting they secured me a 30% raise to keep me at the firm. Since then my raises have been pretty meager and looking around it seems like I could get a dramatic raise by leaving. Is this just how things are? How do you ensure you're fairly comped without hopping

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
