When do promotion decisions need to be submitted for each cycle? Does anyone have any advice on how to bring up wanting to be promoted to your manager. Thanks! (This is for USA consulting)

I’ve always been an extremely motivated and disciplined person with things like school, my finances, etc, but it’s like I’m having a disconnect with work. I want to work hard and move up so bad. I was able to get on one of the biggest projects at my firm and have worked on more projects than a lot of the other analysts just by networking and asking to help. When it comes to the actual work I fail, I can’t even get editing a deck right. I feel like an idiot all the time, I will think I did amazing on something but when I send it to someone to review it always comes back with 100 corrections.

Is this normal? I get great overall feedback from partners and okay feedback from people who are closer to my work. It’s just draining because I want to move up, I want to be a top performer, I think the job I get to do is so amazing for a new grad but it’s just not clicking. I’m 10 months in and I feel like I’ve had some growth, but nothing significant.
