Hi, I'm a third year. The only associate with a salary that's not an even thousand.

I'm sure they're right: $307,000 is simply not enough. But $308,000 is obviously too much. I'm glad they found the perfect middle ground for third years

Yep exactly. It's not like 3rd years would have been leaving in droves over that $500!

It’s with bonus
