You should be ready with some industry benchmark numbers for your discussion. You can't change anything ( as I was told) . You are too young to have any counterpoint . Never get into argument. Most likely everyone gets merit raises. If you don't get anything please refer to the other post where people are saying KPMG is better ( in comparison with Deloitte) and feel good. If you are not still happy then post again I will give additional insights . :)

Thanks for the input - so I'm assuming it's just gonna be a casual FYI convo?

Not sure of your practice but for my area in CIOA it is Partner/MD level only for the comp discussions. (Not Dir) And yeah, it's FYI only at this point. 10/15 paycheck will have the vc and new salary.

Depends on the team. It is negotiable if you are valued enough

^ thanks for this. Just got out of the convo and found out no VC and a very marginal raise due to firm performing below what was forecasted and timing at which I joined the firm.

I would be curious to know if anybody went on these calls and actually negotiated a higher raise

Did you work a full year?

Nope joined in January.

OP, are you Fed?

Nope - GRC.

Thx

We're supposed to be in the shitter this year as well.

Fed that is.

OP - how much % raise?

Think marginal and then half that amount. 😒

So u have the talk? Sorry to hear it didn't go well

New hires, with less than a year at the firm, should not expect a large increase.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
