A2A Promote Question

As the title notes. I recently received an A2A promote and as such will be changing from a 6/30 year end period to the end of year. When I asked HR about details they said I would be moving to an AS1 for the remainder of the year, and will also be an AS1 for all of 2024. Is this normal across the street? I had expected that I would get moved to an AS2 in 2024, not sure the justification for keeping me at the same level for 1.5yrs. Any insight here would be helpful

Yes you will be a "stub year Associate" for the remainder of this year, then next year will be your first year as an Associate. Same thing happens to MBA hires. They are stubs for 6 months + 3 full years as Associate. Your stub bonus will be small (40-60k if your bank pays street), but you should be getting a proper bonus right about now so think of your stub bonus as a "top up" you'll get just 6 months after your mid-year 2023 full year bonus.
