Actually there is a big difference between the work that an associate vs a senior associate does. You can be an associate straight out of college but you need 5-10 years to be a senior. Don’t forget that as a senior you are bumping up against manager and you are asking yourself why is this person a manager and I end up doing all his or her work.

Does your senior coach you on the stuff you need to do?

Those sound like bad seniors. I try to train my seniors so that I can move up and they can be in tow.

Public sector is 1, seen a lot of other seniors well into in their 30s.
