Painting, playing piano, reading and lots of Netflix and cooking

TV, reading, and I live in a city so able to meet up with friends after work. I kind of like it

Friends. Agreed not many might be available post work.

For me, gym, then cooking and finally watching something on TV before sleeping. That’s a lot after you wrap up work!

Gym, cook/eat, read or Netflix/YouTube. Evenings fly by honestly

Lately I’ve been feeling pay by bracket policy is very counter productive. When I came from my prev company, I had salary at the higher bracket due to market correction and novartis offer coinciding. Now after a couple of years, I see that people who were hired before or after me on a lower package have somewhat similar package as me cause of the pay brackets despite me performing better. Should I talk to my manager explaining my predicament? Or should I simply search for another job?

Question for the Biglaw Bowl: How common is it to take a pay cut when being promoted from associate to income partner? I had heard about this happening at some lower ranked V100 firms.

Does anyone here have any insight into this? How common is it, how much of a pay cut, and how long until your pay catches up to associate pay?
