Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
But I know that AZB's existing associates are paid considerably more than the compensation being offered to me.
I want to know how does AZB typically handle compensation parity for lateral hires? Will my compensation will be aligned with the firm's existing associate pay scale in appraisal cycle, or is there a possibility that I could continue earning less than my peers over the long term because I joined at a lower compensation level?
Does the firm periodically revise compensation for lateral hires to bring them in line with similarly experienced associates?
Also let me know how the lateral hiring works at other tier 1 law firms when associate joins from a tier 2 law firm.
