I’ve noticed several people I know being promoted to “partner” at K&E as a 5th year associate. Is this normal? Curious what partner track looks like there and why someone would make it so early on in their career. I presume it is non-equity partnership, but still. Would love any insight!

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

A friend recently mentioned this isn’t the best since seeing the assignment may create unnecessary stress and anxiety. So, what say you? Am I terrible partner?
