Does BB pay more than EB?

BB pays more at higher levels, according to Prospect Rock Partners (Meredith Dennes);

Elite Boutiques pay 13-20% more than Bulge Brackets at VP1/VP2. But BBs flip the script at VP3 ($740K vs $700K)—they’re paying up to keep senior execution talent. This crossover creates interesting lateral opportunities for candidates willing to make the move.”

Not sure about their sample size but to what extent is this true? It seems to contradict the overall sentiment of this forum that EB pays more.

Whats DB paying? Here they are on par with the other BB... but I am in Germany, so its their HQ and home-market, where they only fall short to GS & depending on the year JP/MS.
