Seems like it takes 6 years to reach Partner at MBB from an MBA, but 8 years to reach MD in banking from an MBA. Is this accurate?

That’s the high standard, and it’s not as common as you think. Your peers are high achievers.

6 years to partner is way way too low

Not really. Before 2019 you had “6.3” partner promotions, but even then it was really more like 6 1/2-7 since you couldn’t even go up until you hit your 6 years 3 months and then you had to go through all the voting rounds and then promotion was only twice a year.

Now, after the new MDP title, you have yet another time gated step — you can’t be promoted “partner” except in July and January, so that is going to lengthen things, and now you go from the PDC to the PDPC. They said when they launched the new title structure that it wouldn’t lengthen promotion timelines but we all knew it was a lie.

I don’t know who needs to hear this (mostly As, Cs, SCs, and some Ms) but here goes.

You are important to the project, but never so important that you cannot leave the project or firm for better opportunities. Being in hero mode is good where you save the day, everyday - but in fact that is neither advisable for your progression nor a recommended practice for the firm. If you have been performing and have had decent social skills, you will not have burnt a bridge when you leave.
