I have 3 years' experience and a bachelor law degree. I accepted a low starting salary for promised litigation training and a 6-month review.Zero training was actually provided; I taught myself everything. I now manage criminal, workers' comp, and PI files independently with no supervision. Is 6 months too soon to hold them to that review promise? How do I frame this as a merit-based "trainee-to-pro" value jump rather than a request based on my rising personal expenses (loans/commute)?

Ask for a meeting to discuss feedback on your performance thus far. Go into detail about the duties you have taken on, does it differ from what you were hired to do, lay out what was expected versus what happened, go in with market research on jobs with similar duties (not always title based), and based on bow that goes ask of you can have a discussion regarding a salary adjustment based on your current duties. You never want to go into it based on personal expenses because they don't care. Show what you've done to date and the value you've brought. Now, this can also backfire, so be careful.

Can't really share this with anyone else, so thank you fellow fish for indulging. 3 years in, finally at a point where I can comfortably work 40 hours a week the last quarter+, and still be a trusted team member and major contributor. Normal tasks and collaborations now take me a fraction of the time compared to my first couple years / others on the team. 6 YOE and my TC has also gone up a lot from low 200s last year to high 200s this year. Hope to keep this optimal mix of WLB & progression 🙏

didn't pass the loop for an L7 role earlier this month, and i found a good suitable l6 role. One of the interviewers added me on linkedin a few weeks back- is it inappropriate if i reach out to him to say thanks and ask him to put in a word for me with hiring manager for the l6 role?
i don't know y i was not selected, and i think its still worth it to reach out. 1 because i think i did well in the interviews and 2 its saves both of us time - to know if i should pursue further or not. Thoughts?
