Does anyone here work for Silicon Valley Bank? They recently acquired Boston Private. I’m a candidate for a job at Boston Private. Wondering if SVB is planning layoffs in the near term at BP? Also, does anyone know the anticipated benefits to be rolled out from SVB as the parent company? Specifically interested in health insurance providers. Thanks in advance for any information!

Who cares what the other person is doing? Comparison is the thief of joy
In the same position. I know where you’re coming from. I tell myself God wants to humble me.
Bro; I typically am a STFU and get back to work guy … but I’ve been working as an SVP under 3 Directors that I wouldn’t hire as an Associate. They’ve been at the firm much, much longer than I … and it’s quite baffling. Though, I would yield … my mindset going into this place is this …
These MFers will be working for me one day. It should have been yesterday, and the time is coming … it’s not just yet … however; I feel like a slingshot. They are complacent with antiquated skill sets. It’s truly only a matter of time.
To the other VPs or folks making Director … great for them … I’m feel I am much better than those folks too … some not … but I am taking this time to get a PhD in AI; and skill up with industry certs.
Work on the weekend is great … but if it’s not helping me … I am going to get a cert or designation. I do not like working for average people with no strategic planning.

Find a place where you can work the politics or give up on a big promotion there. I'm only mid career, but had it happen to me too.
Damn man, just know that it was all luck/timing got them. You made a wager and it didn’t pan out - gotta find a new way to finagle your promotions (might take longer).
I left a former job for an individual contributor role in a different industry with great pay and WLF. Over two years all of my peers from that company made it to VP or Dir and it stung wondering “what if”. But, look, we have been given a chance to make choices so retool and MAKE CONNECTIONS. You just gotta convince the next buyer you’re worth it.
