Pay is super transparent at Bain. You can usually tell who the top performers are and that is the only driver in pay disparity at a given level (up to partner). So it’s not a thing here.

More broadly, it has pros and cons. It can help close the gender and race pay gap. However, it can also demotivate people or force equal pay across individuals who have very different performance and contributions.
