Had my annual review earlier today and I’m not happy with the raise and bonus offered. Aside from the managing partner, there were several other non-equity partners in the room and I didn’t feel comfortable negotiating in front of everyone. I’d rather speak to the managing partner alone as he’s the only one who has the ability to make decisions. I’ll have to wait until Monday to do it in-person but wondering if I should set up a call between now and Monday to discuss? Would Monday be too late?

I would Ask on Monday to set up a time when MP is available before year end. You can say that you reflected for a few days after your review and have some questions.

How did you leave it? Did they say you get x and you said ok?

I didn’t say anything actually and wasn’t given the opportunity to. Usually the managing partner does the reviews on his own and suddenly having all of the other partners there really threw me off.

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries.

What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
Please reply.
