I'm a staff 2 (official October) and I'm worried about making it to senior. I just notice that most of my starting class is still here and it's a lot of ppl to promote. Where is the turnover at?

It seems wild to me that people don't make it to senior. The firm wants you to get there because seniors are typically the highest margin position. Your cost rate is not much higher than a staff but they can raise your bill rate like 40%

They need Seniors/Managers so don't worry too much just do your best. I know of 3 seniors that left so..

I'm really sorry to hear that 😞. judging by the schedule for busy season, I might fall in the same boat. Any recommendations?

Which group are you?

If your seniors try and submit a billshit review fight it hard and get your counselor on your side, audit
