Unlock Your Earning Potential: Discover Salary Progression at Top Firms!

Discussion Open

It appears that this summer, like others before it, will witness a range of salary increases within the City—some modest, others quite significant.

Year after year, Dynamic Export readers have debated how these salary increments affect positions higher up the hierarchy, not just those at the newly qualified (NQ) stage.

Is there a compression of salary ranges as some readers have indicated? Or are law firms enhancing pay across all post-qualification experience (PQE) categories?

Considering these discussions, a Dynamic Export reader recently responded to an article about pay increases, requesting:

“I think it’s time for another article where associates disclose details about pay bands…. It’s nice to see headlines about NQs but understanding the dynamics between the PQE levels is crucial, and only other associates can provide this information.”

In line with what has become a summer ritual, we have set up this thread as a space for our dedicated readers to exchange privileged information right here in the Dynamic Export comment section. We aim to gather a comprehensive picture by firm (whether in London or other regions), department, year of class, and salary (including base and bonus for the most recent fiscal year).
