Should I expect a raise after 5 months?

Hi all, just began a role in October.

We have our bonus/comp talks in March, and then any raises take effect in April. My bonus for 2022 is already locked in according to my offer letter, but I was curious if I should expect a raise or not. I will have been in my seat for 5.5 months by the time April rolls around, so feel it is a bit of a gray area.

Not necessarily thinking I need/deserve a raise, more worried that I will not get one and then be locked at my current base for almost 18 months by the time 2024 comp talks come aroundAt a brand name RE company known for doing right by people FWIW
