Are partner promotion votes generally unanimous? Like if you pissed off some random partner in a different office or practice on something not so major and they hold a grudge, and they vote against you, how does that usually work? Assuming of course you had the support of the partners in your own group. I know this is firm dependent to an extent.

Can just speak for my firm: If you have pissed off someone enough that they would actively vote against you that is a huge red flag for the firm. Partners have the right to abstain though (still might not look good if you have worked for that person a lot).

Been there tho. Pissed a Manager when I was A1 and 4 years later she is still pissed. Funny thing is, looking back, I was a model employee and my career has gone great since she fired me, so I get that sometimes its not even your fault.

I think it might depend on who you piss off, someone with pull, will be a red flag and might even swing more votes against you, someone thats just batshit might not raise a flag (but if they have influence they might still swing votes)

When someone is up for partner, do they get to respond to allegations if someone wants to vote against them/says bad things about them?

That makes sense. I am a junior so that's a long way away for me... If it ever happens!

Pls advice!

Hi- I got two raises last year (one with promotion last December). I believe I am underpaid- partly for my own lack of speaking up and negotiating and not making the best career moves.

With current company 3+ years. People are great. Work could be better. 16 YOE. 72k for medcomms. Was told cost of living raise will be in my first 2023 paycheck. But like- I still have 6 months of living to do until then.

Recruiters telling me I should be at least 100k. What would you do?

I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions?
