^but I'll be rewarded with an "acting senior" position HA lucky me?

Staff? Senior? Prior experience? Kill it next year and you'll get promoted. 3 rating is standard for someone only at the firm for 6 month.

3 is by far the most common rating and means you're tracking for your level. Being at the company for only 6 months means you couldn't get any higher rating because it's not a long enough time period. I wouldn't lose sleep over it because getting a 4 or 5 is all politics and they don't give them out all too much.

The rating system is bullshit.. Starting to lose my faith in the firm.

I'd be more focused on what it takes to get to a 2 before I'd be focused on a promotion.

3 is the norm don't worry

I got an early promotion as a 3. A three is not a punishment. Well if they tell you you were a 4 but failed for time sheets or something then maybe beat yourself up over it.

I know a 4 who didn't get promo, and a 3 who did in the same year.

You're fine

They give you a 3 and then hope you'll be motivated enough to work at the level above you in the hopes you might get that 4. Over it.

EY9 said it pretty well. All that client and metrics stuff is expected and everyone does it. Also, just to spell it out....the vast majority, probably all of us, are 'acting senior' before they get the title. That's been true at PwC and EY, in my experience.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

Career dev advice needed. Being offered a promotion (would be reporting to my current skip and managing/growing a team). The role is global subsidiary management/governance. But the work does not appeal to me, I’ve been doing some of it and it’s so much admin and people management. I’m not practicing law at all. Love my current IC role and manager, get to work on strategic transactions and closer to the business. If my goal is head of corp legal one day, should I suck it up and go for it? Thnx!

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then. Currently I'm getting approx 9Lpa, and it feels like I'm pretty much stuck here. Switching jobs increases the pay scale, while staying for a while reflects stability.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.
