I left for about 3 years and it worked out great for me. Few thoughts: I feel it opened my mind more to know that I like client service. Probably made more $ as I got a bump to leave and then when I came back, I was in line with everyone else. Downside was the selling and internal stuff

I was hired within the last year as a site supervisor. I did well my first few projects with the company. They asked if I’d be interested in transitioning into a construction manager role. I agreed. Now I still am the site supervisor on projects but I’m also doing all the construction manger duties on the project as well. Essentially 2 jobs for one salary. We have yearly reviews in December but no talks of raise have been discussed. Any help on approaching this to my boss?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.

I am a mid level litigation associate at a midsized firm in NYC, which means working big law hrs, without big law pay.

Any insight and/or suggestions are welcome.
