3YR vs 2YR Analyst Programs

Was curious why some banks still do 3 year analyst programs such as Evercore and Centerview while most banks and pretty much all the BB have moved to 2 year programs. Isn’t there a huge pay differential between being a third year analyst at Evercore vs first year associate at JP Morgan? Seems like a huge disadvantage going to a bank with 3 year analyst programs or is there something I’m missing?

 

Oops didn’t realize - is there a disadvantage from a promotion standpoint or exits standpoint?

 

Not sure what the "official" policy is at JPM at this point, but they've effectively moved to a 2 year analyst program. At least 50% of 2nd year analysts (this is a low estimate) who stayed were promoted. You're definitely not seeing anything close to that level in a traditional A2A (only rockstar candidates are promoted) scenario like it used to be.

 

yeah was curious about this too. becase they tend to say you can apply for the associate roles with like 2 years of experience. so idk
