Etiquette for asking for a raise/ tips on career advancement?

I'm at the end of my first year as a lawyer and I want to advance my career (a raise, maybe some perks) without coming off as an entitled brat. Do not want to burn bridges by asking for too much, but also don't want to be taken for granted.

I have exceeded the goals set for me with a full quarter left until my annual review.

Hi Fishes,

I have one query.
What's the role of Basic Salary in our CTC structure?

Is there any advantage if it's higher or vice versa.?

What's the highest joining bonus you got till now in all your switches? Did you get retention bonuses as well after joining? Who will initiate retention bonuses?

I think we should create a compensation thread in this bowl. It would help a lot of people who are planning to switch companies/jobs or who are moving to this region. Just a thought, since it’s one of the most common questions asked here.

Hi Fishes,

I have an interview with JPMC scheduled soon.. for data analyst .. can you guys have some advice or topics which should one prepare for the role of data analysts? 4 YOE

Looking for plus one at my firm’s holiday party tomorrow.. dms are open.. Male 34 here..

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

As a lawyer, what’s your perception of real estate as a practice area? Just curious. Sometimes I think my lay friends think I sell condos and time shares.

If your firm created and supported a podcast or video channel, would you contribute to it?

Any tips on switching up practice areas as a young attorney? I transitioned from a law clerk to an attorney at my current firm (insurance coverage) during the pandemic. I was very grateful for the job during a time when things were up in the air, but I really do not like the work I’m doing. I’m looking to try to move into a different area of law (preferably in the real estate realm), but almost all of my legal experience is in insurance coverage and/or defense.

I’m on vacation. How do you resist the urge to check your email every 5 minutes?

Have a junior that isn’t improving - not even catching typos. I’ve given him back redline bloodbaths/some short feedback. As a mid level, I’m stuck w him bc of partner staffing. Any tips?

What happens if you’re on secondment, employee of another company - but the original company wants to terminate you?

As a 4th year I feel like I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing and everyone around me seems to be competent and confident. Am I just terrible at my job or is everyone else just better at faking it?

An Uber driver’s account was deactivated. Uber claims it’s because this person was part of a class action. He denies signing a consent form and being part of it. The class action was filed in another state and he never drove over there. Three questions - (1) if this is true, can Uber retaliate based on this. (2) if he never signed a consent form, can he be part of a class action, and (3) what’s his best course of action if he wants to drive for Uber again?

IP Attorneys (patent, trademark or both) what’s your billable hours expectation/target where you work (small mid or big law)?

“Your resume is great and you have really good experience, but your grades” 😭 if I had a dollar for every time a recruiter tells me that.

What does life look like for someone to hit 2300+ billable hours?

I’m a first year attorney at a small plaintiff’s firm. My firm has guaranteed me a $10k bonus at the end of 1 year without regard for my billable hours. They’ve also stated if I hit 2300 billable hours in my first year, they’ll add an additional $15k.

If my math checks out, that means I need to be billing ~45 hrs per week. But with only like 60% of my assignments being billable—how do I hit 2300+ and not die?

Reasonable to ask for a full two weeks off 16 months into working at a firm? Terrified to ask.

Anyone else going to the NAPABA conference in November? Also, let me know if it makes sense to have a WhatsApp thread or something like this in case anyone is interested in grabbing a drink or not talking about work/networking 1000% of the time.

Has anyone on here or know of anyone who left law for a different career? Happier? Full of regret?

I’m a felony prosecutor and have never worked in the private sector (both before and since becoming an attorney). I’m considering switching to a private firm, but don’t know where to start. My private law friends have recruiters reaching out to them based on where they work. How do I get recruiters to notice me? Should I be hiring a recruiter? (Is that even a thing?)

— realizing I have a few blind spots!
