Why does Morgan Stanley have manager and senior manager positions after associate? Makes it difficult and longer to reach VP compared to other bulge bracket banks.

In IBK?

They also have senior associate

MS also has Director between Sr. Mgr and VP. A Director friend in Ops had a very difficult time applying for roles outside the firm because it was assumed she was ridiculously overqualified. I don’t know if they have all these titles as bait to work for promotions (rather than cash, but that’s another story), or what, but it's a huge problem if you’re trying to get a job elsewhere.

Yeah, in HR, Manager is btwn Associate and VP. In WM, it’s AVP. In Ops, it’s Director. Almost all other groups just label it as Associate.

Because it’s a finance bowl @Ass1

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
