Bump in Comp as Associate before VP

I’m an Associate in a major market working for a large developer. There’s no Senior Associate level at my firm, and I don’t receive carry — just base and bonus. If I’m likely not being promoted to VP yet, what should I ask for or expect in terms of a compensation bump?

What do you make now and what is VP comp at your firm? 

Likewise, how long have you been an associate and why do you think you will not get the promotion?
