Need to vent for a second. Is there anything more useless than goal setting during annual review time? Like yes, I promise to be a good employee and keep trying this year. Like what else do you need? I'm job hunting anyways and I'm not sure any recruiter out there is going to care or ask if I am currently meeting my 2026 goals at my current employer 😂

It does feel a bit ridiculous to hear about your goals for the next year. A lot of it, especially in healthcare, is just a way of establishing a record that can be reviewed at some point. Organizations want to show a "culture of continuous improvement," which can matter for accreditation. So having goals and surpassing them might be a meaningful data point when reviewed in a few years.

Fair point. I guess in the modern age we need to quantify and record everything. Sometimes it just really annoys me though!

Sometimes, annual review goals can feel more like a formality, and I also agree that recruiters do not really care about them, what matters most is your overall outcome and experience on the job.

Well said. And I guess if I'm surpassing goals I *might* get a bigger raise but that's never a guarantee.

I always see the annual goal as a formality since it tends to change during the year anyways! 😂

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Base: 75k
Sign-on: 43k
RSU: 825 shares
TC: 122k

Current TC: 98k
YOE: 6

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any?

Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?
