I am a personal injury attorney making 79k with ability to keep 40% of anything I settle, bonuses for originating work for the firm. I am 1.5 years into practicing as a Plaintiffs PI attorney - I have a review coming up - suggestions on what I should ask for as a raise. I’ve settled a couple cases and working on a third settlement. I’m new to the practice area but cannot get a read on whether a raise is coming at review - nothing but positive feedback from both partners I work with, but doesn’t

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?

Had my HR discussion with BoA and found that they don't have any year end bonus component. It is weird given every bank has that apart from the CTC. Do they have any other reward / bonus and it they don't have, why it is so ?

Your suggestion needed 🙏

I have 4 offer

Delloite: 10.7 lpa ( 9.7 + 1)
Tavant: 14.5 lpa(14 + 0.5 )
Amadeus: 16.5 lpa ( 15+1.5)
Coforge: 18.5 lpa( 17+1.5)

I'm not really interested 1st 2 options as the difference in ctc is big

I'm confused btw amadeus and coforge
Coforge is paying me more but it's a service based company. While amadeus is product based.

Out of the 2 which company is better ( keeping aside the ctc) to join.

Please please share your thoughts

Thinking about lateraling from one large top tier international firm to another. Everyone who has left my firm is happier work wise (though they miss some of our amazing perks). I was hired as a summer in 2016, clerked in 2017 and am now going into my third year of practice.
My only complaint is that I “fit” with only about 1/ 3 of the partners on the floor which makes getting work tougher than it should be. My anxiety is at it’s peak. I am wondering if a fresh start worked for anyone?

Curious what people have done in the past. I'm interested in lateral positions so can't exactly ask the partners I work with.
