I’d get another Counselor, but do your due diligence in finding another one and maybe give it 1 more year unless there are other reasons you want to leave. If there’s other reasons start looking now, if there’s not reassess this time next year

4 is crazy for just 4 months tenure. Expected a standard 3 in the worst case. How have your check-ins gone? Who were your feedback providers? What actionable feedback did you receive? How was your firm initiative if any (4 months is short and you are still learning the ropes of the firm). If your counselor doesn’t care, that could also be the issue: bad representation at consensus

Stay for a full performance year. Work hard but also start focusing on your network. At year end, the only thing that seems to matter is who knows you at the table

Yea the 4 I heard on the consensus call kept making mistakes in their work and were not improving as a first year

You're fine. It sucks, but you're so new you can recover easily.

I got a 4 first year same situation for low utilization. Got a 2 the next year and early promo. Still sucks though because missing that raise really throws you off

Stay strong OP...rating for 1st year does not matter..kill it this year and be the person you can be !!

Counselors at D suck.

Update for everyone - thank you for the love and encouragement, still here and got fast tack promoted to manager..
thank you!

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

If possible how to get release from it
As they are not interested in me for training and transition.

Im currently trying to switch from the RE finance industry to tech as a project manager. My current title is project manager w/ 4yrs experience and over 10 years of transferable skills. Ive also recently obtained my CAPM. In my current job I dont feel as if Im gaining any of the project management skills. Considering everything I’ve had to learn. My company does not use any PM softwares. For someone in my position would a salary range of $80-$90k be considered too low, or too high?

There's a debate about this going on in the Google bowl, which I find interesting. Most people are saying they don't have a problem with this, but I think it's deeply unfair.

The argument that resonates with me is that if you move to a LCOL city the value of your output isn't all of sudden worth 25% less.

Curious what others in the industry think.
