Who or what is RPC? Is it a weapon? Can I eat it? Is it shorthand for a little known eastern European autocrat?

Their insurance NQs in the same office are on £80k.

The market always moves faster than internal pay. If I were you, I’d start looking elsewhere to maximise your income

Salary bunching is a real problem among UK firms. For 5PQE, SC firms only pay around £160k and MC firms pay around the £200-220k mark. £100-130k would be mark for any UK firms further down the tier.

Legal market is plenty fluid at the moment, you could always move somewhere else?

The NQ salary at my firm is £97,000, however at 5PQE I’m only on £101,000. Are solicitors at other firms also seeing such salary bunching trends?

From borderline “silver circle” to firmly bottom of the mid-level.
