Has anyone negotiated their raise at comp conversations in the past? I got very high ratings but I'm a staff so I know we basically all get the same raise. Is negotiating even an option for me?

Have been in PA for nearly 30 years. Only 1 change in comp after complaining. As a staff, good luck with that

You’re a staff, you have no leverage and you haven’t had an opportunity to truly differentiate your performance. Trying to argue comp now will only serve to brand you as whiny millennial. If a few extra thousand a year makes a difference to you, you’re better off jumping firms. Long term though, jumping can hurt you if you’re sacrificing a developed internal brand for the salary gain.

The only instances I’ve seen people successfully negotiate for adjustments (without moving / transferring service lines) have been highly valuable managers / sr managers lifers in groups that poached peers from other firms at much higher salaries.

You can’t negotiate anything as a staff.

like

A) we don’t have ratings any more

B) comp conversation is too late in the process to make a change, unless you are vocalizing that you are resigning then in my experience they cannot change anything since the decision is already made. But lay the groundwork for next year

J&J or Google? I’m in final stages and expecting an offer on both ends. TC seems about the same but J&J is based in Skillman, NJ whereas Google is in Austin, TX. Non tech roles in the same domain - Main difference is that J&J seems to be a higher level role (senior manager) whereas Google is a more junior one (lead). Any advice?

Job offer extended but now some red flags… I was extended an offer today with a pay raise and great benefits. It’s in a field that interests me more but, now some red flags have come up. They voided my offer after asking for time off way in advance in December of this year & the pay that was discussed on the phone is different from my offer letter. I asked the recruiter to clarify and she said I must’ve not heard her correctly on the phone. I’m not having second thoughts… I was excited.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
