An "IC Expert" Firm with no Incentive acumen - Business Operations Associate ZS Associates Employee Review

Not sure if one should be laughing at their recent "market correction" or feel pity for already working Associates. After the current Market Correction that happened for Associates, the new Associates earn more than someone who has spent 1-1.5 years as an associate in the firm, This is just ludicrous!! The Management is expecting to be ACs to work with Associates who are earning either equal or more than them. ZS came out with a new way to motivate their workforce; by paying entry level people more than someone with 1.5 years of experience!!
