Only if you did hedge fund, private equity, mutual fund work. I've seen the jump to those firms and you work on the finance of the deals. Best path I've seen is transfer to m&a as a first year senior, stay until manager, and then make the jump. One of my managers went from low $100k to $250k but he's something else.

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?
