I am curious who has been with their firm for 5+ years? I am at a cross road between sticking it out or bounce. Going into year 4, on track for VP next year.

Associate 3 and started at Analyst 1. So 6+ years

Approaching this crossroads myself, I feel inclined to stick around and work towards internal advancements, I'm not sure that our industry rewards moving around as much as other industries

Wrong. The finance/wealth management industry rewards bouncing around like a pinball all the time.

Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
