I've had a great and highly recognized professional career in my country. Now I'm new here and facing everything new. Yes, I'm scared, but I don't want to stay frozen. I just want an opportunity. I'm looking for a mentor who can see my professional potential. I'm not a lawyer, but the legal profession runs in my veins. My father was an impeccable judge, and I carry his legacy. I'm a social communicator and now I dedicate myself to preparing immigration forms and helping families. Text me please

Had my annual review Friday (first year with the company). Boss awarded a 3% raise though she said my review was โ€œ90% positive.โ€ Worth adding I got a 3% sign on bonus last year, so Iโ€™m basically at 0% raise. Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I donโ€™t feel a 3% raise matches a โ€œ90% positiveโ€ review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance Iโ€™m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firmโ€™s inclination to โ€œhop on a callโ€, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. Itโ€™s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. Itโ€™s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.

Negotiating a settlement. Iโ€™m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client wonโ€™t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client wonโ€™t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we canโ€™t just say letโ€™s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (Iโ€™m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I donโ€™t want to screw this up!)
