We have Market Salary Adjustments.
If you feel you’re underpaid you talk to your leadership and present your case. Could be for a number of reasons but having data for your skill set and avg salary for that role in a similar market helps.
End of the day it’s finding a comfortable spot where the firm is making their profit target off you based on the LCAT they bill you at. If you’re not profitable in your LCAT the MSA won’t go through.
Labor category. Booz can only afford promos and salary adjustments if there’s room for it.
During your monthly call with your career manager tell them you feel underpaid for reasons xyz.
They will then talk with their Senior Associate to see what is available. 5% doesn’t require a lot of approvals. I wouldn’t flat out ask for 5% just say you feel underpaid. If you’re doing a good job and it’s visible to your Senior Associate I have a hard time believing they won’t do what they can to push it through.
At BAH there are no bonuses beneath Lead Associate and pay seems low beneath that level also.
