When do you become a 3rd year for salary purposes?

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Jan 18, 2016 3:12 pm

If you just got your 2nd year pay bump as of January 2016, when do you turn over to a 3rd year? Is it January 2017? If it's firm-dependent, what is the general market?

My guess is it's going to be approximately 1 year from the time that you got your 2nd-year raise but that could just be the bath salts talking

OP here. I thought that would make too much sense since we're technically 3rd years starting September 2016 or whenever you started.

Not quite true. Stub year does count for billing purposes (you start billing as the next year up in September). But I don't know of any firm that doesn't bump pay effective Jan. 1.
