I suspect there may be good reasons for law firms and other organizations to set the same pay for everybody within the cohort. Pay gets mixed up with ego. These who looked the most impressive at the entry point may not be the most impressive after the first year. Evaluating and comparing people is time consuming, painful and bruising for egos. Thus the benefits of lockstep pay are significant. A sign up bonus is a more palatable way-- if someone who gets an outsized sign up bonus turns out to be average it does not create an organizational problem (in contrast, if an average fourth year associate ends up being the highest paid that might be a problem because it would cause the top performer to feel resentful and rightfully demand renegotiation).Mishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986724049071818878noreply@blogger.com
