Bulge Bracket front office pay and career progression
Hi
this is not mean to be a haolian thread, since I know there are many high high achievers and elite here.
just wan to get some perspective from the seniors here
I been working in BB FO for almost 4 years,
my annual pay is between 135 and 155k, bonus non existence. increment are decent double digits so far.
however I have been stuck at entry level analyst since.
does my boss think I am underperformer? some of my friends in other desks hit vp in 5-6 year, while I am yet to even get a bump to Associate
I like everything about my job, the pay, the hours and the jobscope, colleagues are ok and I like my company. in fact I am probably too comfortable there
the only problem is lack of career progression.
some of my fren say, why do care about the title? money is more important..
however I not even sure if I am underpaid or not? because I am not comfortable comparing pay, out of fear of being embarrassed.
should I move, just to get a kick start to my career?? AM I stuck in dead end job??? is my pay decent or too low?
not trolling here.
hope some senior who have been there done that can enlighten me. thanks
