Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

Depends on firm. At cap 1 is the best 5 is the worst. Default for first years is 3 unless you did something extraordinary.

She’s very pretty in my opinion but geez!

My bad OP, thought you were at PwC.

Gross how everyone jumps immediately to her doing something inappropriate. Sure, that could be it, but it could also very well be something else that’s either firm’s fault or out of her control. Like she happens to be on a critical project at the moment so they’ll say anything to keep her for the next 3 months and cut her loose after. Or she had already given notice so they didn’t give her a lay-off package, but then realized they did too many cuts and now are trying to keep more people on board. Maybe she’s leaving for a better competitor and that hurt someone’s ego. Maybe her low score was partly due to retaliation, discrimination or something else from a previous manager and this is an effort to resolve it. Or yes, maybe she’s the granddaughter of your biggest client and had sex with all the managing directors in your office. Tons of possibilities, why bother getting yourself worked up over it? If you feel like you need more context to serve as her career advisor you should quietly ask one of the people trying to get her to stay. They may not tell you the truth but whatever they tell you should give you some clues.

When do I begin adjusting? It’s been 4 months. I joined as an associate and I feel like sometimes my work is sloppy or I’m overwhelmed. I’ve gotten feedback that I’m making progress but that sounds fake. I’ve also gotten feedback that my work is sometimes sloppy. The last report I helped write had a ton of write ups on it. Feels like I’m about to get fired.

Hello!
I am currently a substation design electrical engineer 1.

I am making $71k a year from a large Consulting firm.

I have a bachelors and masters degree in Electrical Engineering. I have passed the FE & PE exams, I am an EIT, and I have a year of experience outside of school. Three internships as an engineer while I was in school.

I feel like I am underpaid and would like to know the thoughts of others. I feel undervalued in comparison to what other companies over that do the same work.

Less mcqs and more sims. I like sims better for far than mcqs for some reason. While the opposite for audit since it's more subjective. Plus the 15 minute break is nice.

But I don't find those hard, just very time consuming since the overwhelming amount of info they throw at you.
