Hey all - looking for some advice.
Fourth-year Associate here with solid performance reviews and passed up for promotion again.
Would it be possible to lodge a complaint with HR?
Further context: Eton educated, demonstrating leadership qualities by managing our Surrey based cricket team, and direct family ties to a senior leader within the firm. Sadly, we seem to be in an era where he is unable to pull any strings from the top.

Appreciate any feedback before I pursue formal channels
