I think that is probably true in some instances but not universal. My firm is not lock step and I (happily) know from personal experience that top performing associates that get top raises each year make out better.

Not Jones Day :)

Exactly.

I’m a former Jones Day associate and this is accurate.

Several JD associates make above lockstep rates, too.

I meant several make more than lockstep + bonus at other firms. Not many, but a few in every class.
