I lateraled to my current form as a second year and 6 months after that I went on maternity leave. I came back to work in February 2025. In September I had my end of year review, which was sort of mixed but generally negative. I was told people like working with me but I’m technically behind. To me, that was not a surprise because at my previous firm we were micromanaged and then I spent less than a year in total actively working here. I’m having a mid year review in March. How bad is this?

If you're still getting put on good matters and are hitting your monthly billable targets for the most part, I wouldn't worry.

If you're having a lot of trouble getting staffed on things, or you're getting staffed but then people seem unreasonably critical of your performance, etc., I'd be concerned that they're trying to ice you out

I received similar reviews after lateraling (noting that I did a bit of a change in practice groups when I lateraled) and am still around! I would be really diligent about getting certain projects to build your substantive knowledge, and also finding people you work well with and that are happy to develop you in areas that need work (and that make note that you have a lot of potential/convey confidence that you will bridge the technical gaps in their reviews). Hope this is a bit reassuring!

Thank you!

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?
