Was upset with raise. Just got a text from mom. Dad is in the hospital. Called. She says he's fine. Can't believe I was bummed about my raise. As if slightly more money matters.

So sorry to hear OP. Praying for your dad's swift recovery. As we are all sharing thanks today I just wanted to share that my mom was hospitalized earlier this year. I work as a healthcare consultant and know that a hospital is the worst place to take someone when they are sick (being filled in a place with other sick people can make your immune system have to fight other foreign diseases...it's not pretty). But we had to admit her since she ended up catching a really severe version of the flu and had pneumonia. I've been in consulting for 4.5 years. When my dad told me she was being hospitalized I dropped everything at work and came straight home (I decided to live at home since starting this job since my account requires travel to different places). I can't say how thankful I am and was at the time to my team & client who all gave me the flexibility to take care of things at home. Mind you this year I worked with the partners on my account to fast track my promotion to manager while all of this was going on. Long story short, I made manager this year, but not impressed with my base comp. I'm looking in the market for other opportunities to demonstrate my value to the firm. Don't forget about everyone that helped you get to where you are. People lose sight of that when looking at their compensation and forget about how they got to where they are. This includes family and friends who supported you mentally and emotionally.

Thanks A4, thanks everyone

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare. When passed over, the partners say there were others who have been waiting longer (not necessarily with the highest ratings) and that I should “keep doing what I’m doing” and basically wait my turn. Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?

There is a bonus component over and above the CTC mentioned in offer letter.

1) This bonus range (10-20%) is not mentioned in the offer letter. Is this usually the case?

2) Are people in EY receiving the bonus right from the first year on the job or is there some extra t&c I was not made aware?
