Any advice on how to get a 5 this year? This is my first year but I've had great client feedback, they've even emailed partners in my practice thanking me for my work. What else should I be doing?

It's pretty hard to get a 5 as someone brand new to the firm (I'm equating this with new hires wanting to get a 1 at D).

If it's your first year you shouldn't be stressing about your rating. Just do your best and it will get noticed. Matters more for promo years

It all depends on who you know....

^exactly this. I'm in the same scenario as you OP and EY3 is on point.

What do you mean? My CFL and partners in my practice have heard of the good feedback but I haven't necessarily done any practice development for them. Been working for a partner outside of my region and he's doing good stuff I'm just concerned it won't be that visible

Also, depends heavily on level. Are you staff or SM?

Staff 1 lol, still a baby!

At the Staff level, who in your practice knows you doesn't really matter. The round table is made up of SM's from the different competent groups. What matters is utilization and your counselor's storytelling skills.
