Does Natwest bank pay as competitive as Morgan Stanley Deutsche Bank. I mean Associate in MS and DB ranges from 20 to 30 lakh. However when I tried applying to Natwest expecting 40% hike (30 lpa) on current pay of 21 lakh. They straightway rejected me and said its not in their budget.

I’m at a satellite office of an AmLaw 100 firm that pays less than other offices and they promised better WLB than firms paying market (which, turns out, has not been my experience).
Basically the rates they charge clients out of every office is the same. I was in a satellite office when I first started practicing and our partners had a hard time getting (and keeping) clients because our rates were way too high for the area our office was in. But The rates had to be high to make our market based salaries work.

Because they can get away with it.
If you want a somewhat “typical” justification, the billing rates at those satellite offices are usually much lower so, in theory, those lower billing rate satellite office attorneys don’t make the firm as much money as the higher billing rate ones. No client is going to pay NYC market rates in Cleveland or Pittsburg, for example.
Okay this at least makes sense. Almost all of my clients are in in NYC, TX, or CA. I am a specialist so I would be remote from a lot of clients/partners I work for no matter where I was located. But I am pretty sure every associate is paid market firmwide.
