Is this post-MBA offer term considered "market"?

Recently received a Post-MBA associate offer from a well known boutique shop that included a term differing any compensation review until the end of my second year, i.e. my base with hold steady for two years. My understanding is that associates receive base pay bumps year after year.

Has this term become industry standard? If not and you are aware of other banks that specifically don't do this, would you mind mentioning them. Thanks for the help y'all.
