Hey All - I saw that there was a 2019 thread of a list of banks that promote analysts to associate after two years. Wanted to see if there was any update to the below list:
BMO
Thanks!
Edit: Will update the list with any additions

BMO as well. Analysts are on summer bonus cycle whereas the rest of the bank is on December cycle.
Means you get your full second year bonus + A2A promo bonus + associate stub bonus in December. Quite the liquidity event in the second year.
What about EVR, PJT, MoCo?
.
Moco is 2 years, $75k A2A signing bonus
EVR is 3, Pjt is 2
TD and BMO as well.
do these associates get stub bonus too?
JefCo has A2A after 2 years
Do you know what the signing bonus is for A2A?
Isn't that only for diversity people though? Thought it was usually 3 years at Jeff?

Jef is AN1>AN2>AS0>AS1. So 2 year analyst, 1 year in between, and then associate. Associate bonus is from AS0>AS1
It used to be 2 years for certain groups (such as the energy group) and women, but in 2021 they made it such that all of the people are up for promotion at the end of 2 years of being an analyst.
What about UBS?
Svb Leerink?
No they are a 3 year analyst program
Bump
Could someone clarify whether J.P. has a two or three year analyst programme?
I’m lateraling in as an A1 from another bank but somehow this was never mentioned
We do it was only recently implemented, laterals may be different doe
