I thought most places were 2 years and then you can make associate after that? 

 

Just talked to a Jefferies guy and he said they get promoted to associate level 0 the third year but you don’t get an associate sign on bonus. It’s basically the same pay as an analyst 3 until you finish that year and then you get a sign on bonus and associate comp.

My group at Jefferies pays the A2A bonus before the Associate 0 year, ie. when you complete AN 2.
