Is a 6 month raise normal? My manager says I'm supposed to be due for a raise in 6m, but I'm confused as to why. Not complaining just wondering if this is a normal structure for a small ad firm. Is this a trial period or something?

Jus another black copyeditor saying 👋🏾. One year does seem to be the standard for advertising; however, I work in media now and can get a raise every six months.

Just started in-house and my days are full of meetings with little time in between to analyze or process anything. Is this typical?

Maybe it’s like this just the first few days where I’m getting the lay of the land? But I suspect it’ll be like this for a while… Any tips appreciated.

How long did it take you to receive your first promotion? I have 3 years of work experience, currently at my 3rd agency, and third associate position. Four people on my brand team have been promoted (across levels and departments, but none in PM).
