Career Prospects at PwC

There are numerous promotion opportunities which are based on merit and performance. To be considered for a promotion, you basically have to be performing at the level you want to reach i.e. a junior needs to demonstrate senior qualities to be considered for a promotion. You also have to have managers/ partners who support your promotion request and can 'vouch' for you.

It seems, through observing the team members on my jobs, that progression is very accessible and you just have to work for it and set targets.

It takes a while to move up to Senior Consultant. You have to be very high achieving.

Can move from consultant to partner.

Promotion based on business case that must be provided and argued - this is generally limited by tenure but not necessarily guaranteed by tenure.

Based on hearsay I believe it is easy to move up to Senior Consultant but then becomes difficult to make Manager and positions above

While it is challenging to be promoted (this is due to the high calibre of staff in PwC), it is completely achievable with a strong work ethic and good relationships.

In order to be eligible for promotion one must first create a business case for why they believe they deserve it, this include samples of work done, other firm activities, and feedback from managers, etc.

Promotions typically occur once a year and promotion candidates must adhere to being at the 'next' level stage of the company Professional framework. The framework items include: technical capability, business acumen, global acumen, whole leadership and relationships.

You just need to perform and fit well in the team. Promotions appear to come quick and fast.

Essentially to get a promotion you need to be fulfilling the roles of that level above

The company sets out expectations, so you know what skills you need to have to gain a promotion.

Very easy if you work for it, there are many opportunities.

Promotion opportunities are well structured and staff appear to be well supported when applying for promotions

Unaware of promotion possibilities.

Promotion possibilities appear typically accessible and a natural progression path exists.

Performance is key

Difficult to say. Based on experience, opportunity for advancement is available for 2/5 people.

Depends on the person and how much effort they put in
