Venture Capital Partner Track ?

Hello everyone, Can someone shed the light on how many VCs truly offer a partner track internally to those that don't?

If there really is a ceiling where people cant progress internally then what is the end game for VC associates and the likes?

Most are not partner track/there is no defined avenue to success. People move funds to promote up. It's notoriously difficult to advance in venture especially at the junior level. Here's a sample path:

2 Years of IB/CO/Startup 2 Years Analyst/Associate (might get asked to stay for longer) 2 Years bschool 2 Years Startup in product 3 Years principal Partner or another partner
