Anyone have experience of overtaking colleagues in banking at associate and VP level? Performance wise and internal politics wise everyone knows person x is a defacto senior and more better. However person y is technically senior by title? Both associates but one closer to VP.
in the rigid structure of banking, any advice on how to materialise and catch up or overtake?

Caveat being your competition will become lifelong enemies if they find out you sabotaged them.
