I learned the biggest lesson of my professional life, never let your employers/manager know your exact age. Especially when you are 23 (looking like 27) they always compare it with their life whenever you ask for a salary raise and you end up receiving a nominal increment.
P.S. - I left that job and am making 1.75x than what I was there!
Blessed.

Lucky you, are you working completely remote? Good luck for your promotion call, hope they don’t use this as any reason, I so hate that when they do!

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
