I have been an associate for 3.5 years. Going for a record here :). Hope I don’t get promoted so I can hit 5 years as an associate. Seems like a number no one can beat.

I knew someone who was an SA for 10+ years b/c they were mostly staffed on internal no-travel projects and valued their WLB more than climbing the ladder. They were still given regular increases and bonuses every year.
