One thing this table is missing is probabilities of making it to each tier. For example, x of out 100 make it to 2nd year analyst. y of that x 2nd year analysts make it to third year analyst, etc.
If you just present “potential earnings” without the probability of success, all it is is the lottery billboards showing that you MAY win that much without letting you know that the probability of winning that much is in fact very very tiny.</p>
