I hit my 5-year mark last month and realized I'm barely making more than when I was hired. I've brought it up twice with my boss, but I always get vague responses. At what point do you give an ultimatum vs job hunting?

Just look for another job. You don’t want to be forced to give ultimatum every time you want a raise.

Get a competing offer and if you really want to stay give your current firm a chance to counter.

Are you still an associate? If so why haven’t you been promoted to senior yet? Usually raises come with career progression and after a few years as an associate there is a chance you’re at the top of the pay band for that role which is limiting your raises.

That’s crazy. In 3.5 years I went from $76k to $107k. Expecting to hit $130k in June

You are not valued there. Time to move on.

I currently work at a medium sized firm and have about two years experience in personal injury litigation. The billable hours and lack of work life balance are really getting to me and I am looking to switch to something else out of litigation, preferably in house. I am also looking to relocate to a different state. How do I go about properly marketing myself to companies that might not take my relocation and minimal experience seriously?

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
