Would you stay at a firm that increases your goal by 60% but gives no raise?

For context, this is after you surpassed the goal by 50% the year before.

You are paid 5-10% on fees in addition to a salary under the 25th percentile for lawyers in your area.

Any firm that increases your workload and effectively pays you less is just taking advantage of you. I wouldn’t stay.

What’s your total comp? How many years in practice?

About 95k last year. 2 years in practice

Typical, the more you so the more is expected of of you; with no compensation

Salary sounds low, but we do need more info. Was the goal set very low for you as a rookie and you're seeing expected increases? The thing about blowing a goal out of the water is that you can expect the goal posts to move the following year. About the raise part... did you ask or are you upset they didn't offer it? Not attacking you, alot of people get uneasy about salary negotiations. Don't expect it, demand it and be prepared to shop your success (beat goal by 50% right?) elsewhere. If you're good, bet on yourself and make the move. It's torture for me trying to hire people and I'd never let a good one walk without trying to make em happy.

I am hitting about the same numbers that prior associates with 6-7 years of experience hit.
