Now they get to brush shoulders with NQs earning six figures!

The silence from the firm’s management on the continuing salary disparity is deafening.

And you thought bunching was bad!

Mishcon are losing people and will continue to do so.

You have outdated data. Bumps are now 2k for at least the first three years.

Yes it’s a problem. But the real issue is how it feels for those more senior who do not earn comparatively to NQs what they should earn versus their value to the business. I can understand their disgruntlement.

Otherwise, why moan when your average earnings over 3-5 Yrs are going to be far higher with NQ rises/bunching than with traditional salary bands.

Bunching is an issue, as it is at similar firms. Bumps are more like 4-5, not 2. Don’t let relationship failures cloud your judgement.

Please expand on the policy of encouraging employees to date/marry each other.

Also they’ve now banned policy of encouraging employees to date / marry one another so there isn’t really any good reason to be there unless you like sinking ships.
