If left as Assistant to Dean, more money will be needed. Peer averages are highest possible salaries. When an Assistant promotes to an Associates we take their current salary and Associates current salary, take difference and divide by two and give them raise. Career progression is based on new learnings, the longer you are involved, the less opportunities for new learning. Associates don't leave.
Associates have career progression and promotion.
Few Associates who have been here long enough to promote to full. We are just talking salaries, not governance. I wished our average salary was better than 54 in ARL data. I am not intending to make every team leader an Assistant Director. I think we have chosen the right value.
