I’ve been running into weird happenings at my new firm learn of everything “I misunderstood” about my package. I don’t actually qualify for quarterly bonuses at a pro-rated billing rate; no 401ks till year 2; and the biggest—we don’t qualify for a raise unless we are here during the entire fiscal year. We have a 2100 billable req which I’m barely hitting. We also get paid below 6 figures. I learned that the new associates came is at least $10k over us. I graduated 2020–but 1st firm job. Advice?

Does anyone know what McKinsey offers in terms of tuition reimbursement to non consulting staff?

Do you guys think the Brandon and Julia storyline is real? Can his parents actually be that horrid? Sort of feels like it’s all the producers telling them what to say. They often seem like they’re on the verge of laughter too. Thoughts? Am I creeping into a conspiracy? 😂

Does anyone else constantly put off putting their time in as they go and then hate their life at the end of the month? Then once you get caught up, you don’t want to enter more time, and so you fall behind again. It’s a vicious cycle.

Wondering to get some advice on how hard it would be or get an understanding of the market to get back into private accounting/advisory or financial analyst after stepping away for 2.5 years.
