Wells Fargo Corporate Banking Associates - No base raises until VP

Apparently every associate in WF corporate banking got “market raises” last October. Now it doesn’t matter if you are an A1 or A3, everyone is making $125k base plus a $40-$50k bonus.

Is this an industry norm? Curious is other banks are doing that too. Don’t really see why anyone would stick around if they aren’t going to get a raise for three years...
