Not going to mock you for it, but the short answer is no. More likely to be asked to take a step down to analyst than a step up to VP. Most common is to step back to an associate 1

^ if by quant side of FO you mean a quant shop, no we don’t hire risk asso to FO, and even if we do in the rarest case, you’d have to start as an analyst. If you meant quants on a trading desk, maybe that works.

Very very unlikely. More likely to get senior analyst or very junior associate role

And BO>FO that step is likely to result in flat comp or a slight bump and certainly more bonus.

True^ titles are just titles. I’ve seen AVPs get less than an associate

From associate to intern coffee-runner

VP would be hard, will have to take a discount

So many replies but not one asked whether the guy is in IBD or some quant/trading role...

@OP - BO associate to FO VO is next to impossible unless you have a hook, even then super hard.. having said that, I don't if you'd need to go as an analyst either...

IBD just tends to be difficult, but if you're in trading, such as risk, products, etc and want to move to the quant side of the FO, I'd imagine you'd have some leverageable skills.. but if you were in IBD BO working on public company profiles for FO guys, or running quick reg w clearances, etc the overlap in skills would be very minimal

Best I’ve seen is VP to VP later from BO to FO (distressed investing) Assuming you consider credit risk BO

Any advice for asking for almost a 30-35% raise. I recently got an Office Manager position and I wanted to renegotiate my pay. It's a brand new location with branches nationwide. So for a few months I had to do everything myself since I was the only one in the office at this location. I did extremely well and everyone's told me I've been doing a great job. The company has been telling me I'm going to change and get different responsibilities over time.

Hey!
I have credit card with last billed amount of 1,25,000. But i just received my refund of 50,000 which will be adjusted in the next cycle.

But for this cycle, should i pay the entire 1,25,000 and let my CC go into -50,000 balance or i can pay the lower outstanding amount (75,000) only?

My goal is to avoid any interest or fees.
