While I was still at the firm (2011-2013), it seemed people at all levels were in some way dissatisfied with pay raises (or bonuses in the case of mgr and sr mgr).
For reference, you can generally expect 5-8% in a non-promotion year and 9-12% in a promotion… plus or minus a few points for how well the firm overall does, the office, the practice group you are in, if the firm or practice area is under/over-staffed in your office, and so on.
For reference, I started in the low 50's in 2011 in the southeast, so even a “HUGE” 7% bump after my first year with the firm meant less than 4k in additional pay for the upcoming year. Even new seniors I think who were getting raises to the high 50s/low 60s were still feeling the pinch. At that point, 2 yrs into full time work, you're making a solid 10k more than when you started, but you still feel vastly underpaid compared to how much you work and how much you will work as a senior associate.
Managers were slightly happier overall with pay given they were in the 75-90k range (for mgr 1 through mgr 3's), plus an annual bonus, but even managers work like dogs and have to put up with a lot of crap.
I'm not sure what staff start at today, but let's call it 55k in the southeast (large markets). Assuming 7% non-promo raises and 11% promo raises, your salary for staff 2 through sr mgr 1 would be 59 to 105k.
