The firm you work for is a tremendous resource for information related to your firm’s performance rating framework

like

1 is good, 5 comes with a pink slip. It's based on a forced curve. Don't know the exact percentages, but something like 10% get a 1, 20% get a 2, underperformers get a 4, serious underperformers get a 5, most people (60-70%) get a 3. Not sure if it's technically changed recently, but it's still essentially how it works. If you get a 4 or 5 you don't get a bonus or raise.

I don’t get why you are asking this question

like

Yes, unless you underperform. Keep in mind the performance year ends first week in March so everything is based on that (if you started on Feb, you probably won't get anything in September even though everyone else does)

likehelpful

Yes

like

Unless you’re terrible, yes. In the past it was based on rating (satisfactory and above got raises, underperformers didn’t). I assume it’ll continue in this fashion even without the 1-5 rating system

This is also why you have a counselor and onboarding buddy.

I’ve heard various responses

Thank you! I am new to the firm... can someone explain the 1-5 scale in more detail?

Of course. I believe analyst level as D don’t get bonus though

Yes. Until we hit a recession in 1-2 years you will continue to get raises. Then all bets are off and you’ll be happy to have a job 😂

What are the average raises at D?

Depends but from my experience 3s get you ~5-6% and 2s and 1s get more. Someone else from D correct me if this isn’t representative

Got 3% as a 3 my first year and 4.5% as a 2 last year

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH.

My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.
