But yes, my understanding is that in the private sector, your pay doesn't take so long to catch up (if there's any wait at all).

Exactly. It's not even 'a few years'. For example, in the context of the Education Officers scheme, we have GEO4 officers holding positions which are SEO2 estab (such as HOD). Most people in this thread will know how long it takes to go from GEO4 to SEO2. Not to mention that this person is more than likely to have direct reports drawing a higher salary. It's absolutely bananas that your pay is correlated more strongly with age/YOE than anything else, including the impact of your work.
