How do you all respond when you hear a lower number than you expected for your raise/bonus? My review is next month and trying to prepare for the worst. I’m a high performer (highest billable in tax) I just don’t believe in my firm to pay me fairly.

Thanks!

Briefly rage search the job boards, then get back to working 16 hour days since I have so much work to do there’s no time to look for a new job.

If you are expecting more, make sure you come prepared for that meeting:

1) show receipts for what other firms are paying in a similar role.

2) prove out how much money you earned the firm (net margin).

3) if raise sucks, ask for a higher one time bonus.

4) be prepared to quit if needed.
