At BNY analyst roles are higher than associate roles.

Would love to know which company you work for that it’s the other way around.

Interesting, at my firm its analyst before associate. The career path is pretty much what SVP above stated.

JPM2 that’s not a pervasive comment for IB analysts. Regardless of performance it’s typically 2-3 years organically (not jumping around to shorten).

If we have a rockstar analyst we may consider 18 months but that’s incredibly rare because chances are you’re going to lose them as soon as they’re an ASO.

22 months by switching companies

You had to change firm in order to get moved up?

3 years, but shortly after they transitioned to more of a 2 year program. They’re switching back to 3 now though

It also depends on location. For example, if you are in NYC you should be getting 175k- 200k as an associate.

2 years but within this time I also went on paternity leave (on my 1st year). It is not really about the time but about how you perform. If you are performing as at the next level already then you can achieve this sooner.

That’s impressive. How long was your paternity leave if you don’t mind me asking.

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
