LO Asset Mgr QnA

So, I am in Research a top long only (think Cap Group..Fidelity tier) in fixed income. Prev experience is BB sell side rsch n trading rotations. It seems like the Analysts don't report to PMs but rather give recs to diff PMs. I think goal coming here was to be a PM eventually (got hired as Associate supporting a lead analyst) but doesn't seem from the looks of it not many analysts get converted to PM, in fact I'm only seeing one and the person has been here for >20 years - especially in Fixed Income. Comp trajectory I'm unsure of as promotion to analyst seems a bit vague. I'm considering going back to SS to do like maybe a syndicate desk or back to strategy?

I'm unsure what to do or how that will even look to employers... greatly appreciate some advice. I have 5YOE.
