I am sorry - I think I may have phased my question wrongly - what I mean is, is there any information / inside scoop on the payscale after the ~6 PQE mark / after the $12k / month band?

(on a related note, at least one of the big 4 is still lock-step and promotion to JP at 6 PQE is still automatic.. for now. I know two others have moved away from that model. I'm not sure about the last firm).
