Any Spotify people here? Noticed there’s an AM role going at the moment in the UK but not sure what experience level it is. For reference I’ve got 6 years in ad sales experience with 3 years management (both in music industry). Would this be comfortable or is it worth holding out for AD?

Build a massive book, hire client service people, business development associates and you will coast and enjoy a 7 figure income. It’s possible if you have the hustle. If you don’t love the actual role itself then I would suggest networking or specialized education.
I didn’t mind working as an associate advisor, however relocating I wasn’t able to find a similar role and got downgraded to a “paraplanning” role. Not allowed to solicit or give advice for essentially two years before they’re supposed to start transitioning me. Try to drive my own growth (asking to sit in on meetings, opportunities for career advancement in my personal time, etc) but just doesn’t feel like it’s being met with any enthusiasm. Feel like I’m getting to paid for a job that could be outsourced to someone for 1/2 the pay, having a bit of an identity crisis and feel no purpose or meaning in the role. Kind of scared putting part of my own professional future into the hands of people who don’t seem to push for too much growth.

With the right connections and luck, it’s definitely possible, but probably difficult. It would definitely be easier with an MBA or maybe even CFA.
Why do you want to move into IB or PE?
Working long hours (which I don’t mind but it’s doing half brainless tedious tasks), feel limited in growth opportunities, and looking at just potentially pivoting to refresh into a role that would excite me
Sure you can. But you have to build your experience first and expand your network. It could be challenging but still possible.
