I lost a close family member while I was deployed overseas. It was hard because I was the only one who was absent during the funeral service. Have you ever experienced this?

Yes I've experienced that. I lost my grandmother and didn't get to attend the funeral. Not even to visit the home since she past

Yes, unfortunately when we go into the military these are the sacrifices we make. I lost my father when I was deployed and wasn't able to attend his funeral. I struggled a lot with that. But when I got back from deployment we had a memorial.

While forward deployed I lost my sister to pancreatic cancer and my father to a heart attack within 6 months of each other.

Junior associate here, should I ask for more money if my firm is about 10-15 percent less hours but about 30 percent less pay? The gap will never be closed to the top pay scale at my firm but when I decided to come to this firm the pay difference was about 15 percent and not 30. Would appreciate any thoughts on how to go about bringing this up without pissing people off because I love the firm and do not want to leave

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
