I have my one year review coming up. For the first time in my career, it seems like a true review. Any pointers on negotiating increases compensation? What is the standard increase after a year?

Compensation is based on your accomplishments and added value, not necessarily your time spent in the role. To get that salary bump show that you’ve mastered the job requirements for the role (according to the job description) AND give specific examples of where you’ve overdelivered, examples of where you made something happen and where you have added value. A raise doesn’t come with time in a position, it comes with you owning your position while taking on other challenges and projects to show your value to the agency. Have you set goals for yourself (in writing) and achieved/surpassed them? A good annual review will set up those parameters in writing so you can fight for what you deserve. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Most agencies have no standard at all that someone would get an annual increase. It’s rare.

Any increase would also be decided upon by your review time. Not much “negotiating” to do at that point.

If you deserve a raise, bring that up now to your manager. Before the review. Good luck!

I got a recruiter call who said that midlevel transactional associates are receiving $100-500k signing bonuses to lateral. I wasn’t planning a move but then the call got me curious. Anyone here actually receive those amounts? And did you find the new firms super understaffed/in a toxic environment? Many thanks in advance!

Is it ever worth it to take a pay cut for an opportunity? Or should you always stick to your guns?
