I busted my ass last year and got a 3% raise. I had a kid and in truth have been doing the bare minimum for the last 5 months since he was born. I got a 11% raise today. I’m lost. Are these raises even performance based or does management just like me more now than last year.

“Pay for performance” is rarely actually pay for performance.

Are you adjusting for inflation?

To be honest, 11% in today's inflation envornment is nothing to hit home about. Inflation is close to 9%

like

Coming from industry first, try getting used to raises that do not exceed 4-5% even for top performers on high budget teams. If you’re a high performer on a lower budget team, take your 3% and be happy.

11% may not be great with today’s inflation, but it’s something to write home about in comparison to the alternatives.

Most are seeing 15% to 30% raises depending on performance

Just because your service line didn't get that, no reason to be jelous. For my service line and practice = yes.

After life events - marriage or kids you are often treated like more of an adult.

Part of how this is reflected is raises. Seems like this is a subconscious thing.... Not complaining since I think it's good to re-enforce family but it's pry not fair to the singletons.

Not the case for me - a woman. But it makes me sad that other women face this. 💔

I do think progress is being made for women around this though.

Idk how long I'll personally stay in the game b/c I just like time with my kid more than my career but my career hasn't suffered. Guess I'm lucky.

Other women - only work for companies that treat you well! That's how we stop this.

It’s all about “executive presence”: I don’t care = management

They roll a pair of dice and bump you up by the sum %.

How was your firms performance this year compared to last?

Ya ever hear of supply and demand

He’s raising my billing rate effective Jan. 1, and I’m worried I won’t get my raise until then. Anyone have something similar happen?
