BB comp is now at around 100k starting which is more than most EBs. EBs are known for having fat bonuses, but BBs now more or less matched their comp. Will EBs be able to sit still not being able to say that they pay more than BBs?
Will EBs increase base salaries?
People on a few different comp threads have chimed in but I was wondering what more people have to say.
