Currently an Associate 2 that went A-to-A with 3 years at the Analyst level, so 5.5 years in total. Have been ranked in the top bucket in each year, including this year, and have voiced my goals in being promoted to VP 1 this year. Won’t know for certain until January, but with the down market, could envision being passed up for promotion. Im considering the toll on my mental and physical health another year at the Associate level could take. Are their good exit opps for A-to-A? Or tough it out?

I would expect either another year at the Associate level or a forced promotion where they put an off-market cap on your salary and you face an uphill battle in the future trying to get it adjusted to market rates.

Source: my friend got the early promote with the salary being far below other VPs and I got stalled till 6.5 yoe and received the market rate comp package.

Whichever way it shakes out for you - good luck

I am an associate at an AM200 firm and was (IMO) very clear prior to accepting this role that I value work-life balance and wanted to try to keep work at night on the weekends to a minimal, but since February, it seems like it’s always something that requires my time as needed disregarding “business hours” or my personal schedule. Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?
