Any tips on negotiating my raise? I have a check-in with a partner this week where we will discuss my raise. I just finished my first year at a consulting firm with ~4K employees. The average raise from first to second year seems to be 6.5% but I really want to gun for 10%. I have good reviews and the best chargeability metrics in my starting class. How do I frame my target raise without sounding arrogant about my charge stats or tone deaf about the current environment?

Come in with stats to back up whatever you’re asking. I would use multiple sources so you can triage or at least average what you find.

Went through the loop and got an offer but it was below expectations. During the recruiting process I was told it was a sr manager position, but when the offer was extended it was for a manger. I have a competing offer that came in after I already accepted the Amazon offer and now I have no idea what to do. The other offer is stronger but… I mean it’s Amazon. And if I don’t take this now I’m never going to get here again bc there is no way in hell I’m going through that loop again. Any advice?
