I raged internally daily for a year, made sure my boss and his boss AND his boss know how capable I am, then found a new job that pays much higher than here, left them yearning for my skills but can't retain me.
Couldn't have bounced back up without a huge element of luck no doubt, but it was also huge bad luck for me to have been passed over for promos over my stint here given my capabilities.
So I guess the first step to bounce back up is to realise it's not that you have not done enough, but rather how the career system is structured in Accenture is just flawed. This is compounded by the fact that the higher management WANT it to be flawed this way, rather appeasing shareholders than capable employees. Rather keep the bottom 25% than to keep the top 25%. It is just a growing cesspool with capable people like me fed up and leaving left right center, leaving behind status quo loving wanting to hide in bench get free money people behind.
Just make sure that you are someone with actual capabilities (not blindly putting in the hours doing PPT just because your boss tells you to kind), and when the opportunity comes you get to GTFO for good.

You didn’t get promoted because the company know you no other choice. From management POV, your late nights is your problem, just show that you cannot finish your work 9-6 on time.

My advice being in this exact shoe before is that don't be too hard on yourself. Take some days off to getaway, and come back to revaluate your career stage. All I can say is to take charge of career. It's as simple as overcoming the mindset that you may have to wait it out for another 6 months for the next cycle, which is bs. Take charge in what you can control and influence, always. All the best!

Actually now I am still hiding and doing L11 BA work. I plan to just lie low and collect my L9 salary quietly
Do not want to fight for L8 now as market not as forgiving as the past....is it a good strategy?

Promotion Results
Guys, I heard the promotion results are out! Your project manager already knows everyone's outcome—go ask them how you did, or start prepping your resignation letter if you failed again 😂.
