A bit uncertain about what I should do with my career. I am in a commercial role, doing some derivatives trading (mostly hedging, but getting to take some basis risk). My firm is small, and I am getting to do a lot of new things, but I’m not getting to “learn from the best”.

What should I be considering longer term? 5-10 YOE, only recently actively trading.

I work for a small firm (about 20 attorneys) and make 90k. I’m coming up for a raise discussion in a couple of months but don’t know how to go about it/what is reasonable to ask for. I bill about 35 hrs/week at 400/hr, so I think I deserve a bump, especially considering the posture of the market. Any advice/feedback from similarly situated associates or partners at similarly sized firms?
