I’m getting ready for my first review: what kind of raise did you get after your first year? My firm doesn’t have a lock-step increase, so I don’t know what to expect or what to ask for.

It’s a AM Law 200 firm, kind of a mid-west regional moving towards a national firm. First year pay is $125,000 (well below the typical “big law” salary) but hour expectations are lower too (1800)

I would think about $8k-$10k but I am not in that market so I don’t have anything to base that on.

The non lock step associates at my firm received between 2500-10k.

Hello All,
Hope you are doing well,
I have just started my career in project management and have 2 years of experience. And now I would like to enroll in a distance MBA course. So could anyone suggest me which MBA specialization should I choose that will help me in the career along with the PMP certification?

I’m an early startup having raised a bit of money from family and friends to help grow my business. Time is moving fast and I’m potties I won’t hit my targets and being the return back to those who invested.
Once I have used the money that’s been invested there’s no way of seeing it again and still bringing the return quick enough.

The numbers still show it’s possible, I still believe in the concept and I’m still growing, I think I just have some imposter syndrome.

Any advice?
