IMO it's pointless, why do you need a huge amount of money in the first month, if you've saved from the beginning, you don't need a massive amount to the point that you need to join that salary lottery. If this is a culture, okay fine then maybe they have the capabilities to handle things in 6 months with no money but for me, I won't need that huge amount of money on the first month. I rather save and control my own money that makes me more responsible in every cent spent every month.
If it's a gamble like no turns, just pure gamble who'll win and who'll lose then maybe I'll understand more but if you guys are just receiving the same amount of money but different timelines, then it's pointless.
