Sponsor is more important. It is an official, public role a partner/senior partner takes on to help drive your progression in the Firm.

Thank you McK1, I've been assigned a partner as my sponsor and it is the one I'd connected the most with during the interview process so I'm incredibly happy with that!

Hello McK fish? Any advice welcome from my esteemed soon to be colleagues!

Thank you! Who has more of a say in your progression within the firm? Does one get to choose who their sponsor or mentor is? Does everyone get a mentor regardless of level?

I work at a tech startup and it mostly comprises developers. They can't stop emphasizing their importance in the food chain and I can't figure if I'm too humble or they're too arrogant.
This yapping comes from people I've known since college. I have successfully blocked all such negativity but wanted to know if anyone here has faced such scenarios.
