Hey leave pdubs worst firm ever

I can be happy for someone and not go to something celebrating something I believe I earned. I reiterate: Nah son lol.

Celebrating someone else receive something I believe I earned*, to be clearer.

Go. Motivation.

@KPMG 1 - the one that gets referred to as the participation trophy generation

Go and have fun, celebrate 🎉 everyone else's promotions

You wanna show gravitas? Then go and make sure you are seen, in a great mood.

E1, there is no generation referred to as such. Sorry.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
