-For such an excellent person (top performer out of a whole company of above-average persons), paying him 150k/annum after TEN years is low. In another more lucrative sector, he would be making much more, 150k/annum after only a few years.

- Consider the average person in EM, who would be above-average in another less competitive company. He only gets 100k/annum after ten years. I say this is also low.

- Considering that EM is a very profitable company, they don't pay their people as well as I would have expected.

<< Hence, if one is doing well in the company (consistency performing well in the top tier), he/she will be able to hit ~10k/month or ~150k/annum salary after 10 years of service. On the other hand, the average performer will be able to hit around 7k/month or ~100k/annum salary after 10 years of service.>>


Yours is the twisted logic exactly used by our esteemed ministers to justify their astronomical pay. What makes think that past performance is a 100% indicator of future performance? Does a top student make a good employee? It's plausible, but not definite.

If this is how the world works, all top students will be billionaires.
