Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

I remember reading about trainee salaries a few years ago and being flabbergasted that they were so low from a US perspective.
I don’t remember the exact numbers but I remember thinking that most legal secretaries in the US make more than patent trainees in the UK.

To everyone horrified - the common justification is trainees don't need two degrees and UK patent attorney targets are usually 750 hours for trainees and 900 for senior associates.
... Yeah it's not great :/
Oh my goodness….
