I have a periodic thought exercise of a counterfactual where our culture had developed in a way that paid early career people relatively more than now and vice versa for late career. The concept behind it is that interest compounds and beyond basic competence it can be difficult to tell the relative value of experience versus eagerness and top performers with/without the supportive environment in which they operate.

Education, childcare, housing, paying into retirement plans through it all, etc. When you are in your 50s-60s with your kids moved out, your healthcare later in life to be subsidized by the government, your home payed off, your student loans long gone, your retirement portfolio built out, with another 20 years lets say on average of life left in you, what do you even need a raise for?
