>work in marketing for a huge global law firm >first good job after graduating >don't work in their main office, work in one of their smaller offices where we can be (a lot) paid less >job is very good, but talk around the place (my specific office) is that wage increases and promotions are very hard to come by/non-existent unless you're one of the top-tier management >heard some guy got a promotion and his pay increase was only 22% and he's still on less money than the IT support guys started on
Is my only move here to do a year and simply get the fuck out? Any other options?
The days of staying with a company for 30 years are gone. Nobody does that anymore. The normal way of doing things nowadays is to switch jobs every 3-5 years and each time demand 10-15k more than your last job, its pretty much the only way of getting paid more. You say this is a well known global law firm, after 1 or 1.5 years I'd start looking for a new job using this to pad your resume.

What would be the advantage of staying 1.5 years over 1 year?

you dont quit a job then start looking for another one, you look while you're still working.

Not necessarily true if you join a smaller organisation and become difficult to replace. I've gone from £17k/year -> £75k/year over a 5 year period.
Don't expect this if you're doing meme work though. You have to be a top performer in a skilled role.
