On the headline alone, this looks more useful as a comparison exercise than a ranking of who is “best”. If a source reports newly qualified pay figures, the missing context is often where the real difference sits: salary may be higher at one firm, while another may compare better on hours, supervision, seat choice, qualification process or how quickly pay changes after NQ level. A hypothetical comparison between two firms on identical salary could still look very different once office attendance expectations and late-working culture are considered. The metadata also does not show whether the figures are London-only, firm-wide, or tied to particular practice areas. When people assess these lists, which extra metric actually changes your view most: hours, retention, transparency on bonuses, or training quality?
