Are you sure this applies to London, feels US? Associate classes are big because it’s a 4y program, isn’t it?
This. Associate classes are giant and it’s 3-4 years which actually has the opposite effect than the poster above says (you end up with a huge number of associates due to 3-4 overlapping large classes).

It's not 3-4YRs - there is a promotion cycle at the 2YR mark but yes massive HC with little chance of promotion [even if you are great associate]. One of the situations where arbitrary politics / luck of closing deal may decide outcome...
