4th year $165,000
5th year $185,000
6th year $205,000
7th year $225,000

to be market in Chicago, with significant variation and compression beginning in the fifth year. I think that there are at least half a dozen firms that pay on this scale. Many (including perhaps WHAD) also adhere to a modified scheme where they start associates at $125,000 and do raises or approximately $10,000 most years.
1-4 is right on, but 5-7 is more compressed than that from the information I have... more like $175k, $190k, $210 give or take 5 each way.
