I started my Associate position at $110k base at a small boutique firm in April and I’m interested in pursuing a promotion for VP. Few questions:
- What % increase could I expect?
- Is by the end of this year too soon to be considered for a promotion?
- Do I even try and get promoted here? I recognize the pay is below market and that I could pursue a more lucrative VP role elsewhere, let alone even lateral elsewhere for a significant increase.
Thank you very much.
