every firm?
This isn't true at all. Very few firms will promote to Associate after two years. Most require a third year.
MS and i've stories of fast tracking at CS
I was going to say definitely not CS; not at least from what I've seen.
Goldman or bust, you have no shot anywhere else.
Dumbass.
Who the fuck told you Goldman fast-tracks employees? It's all a case by case basis. Most of the Goldman analysts I know ran the fuck out to the buy-side.
JimmyDormandy,
Most of those GS analysts were also offered accelerated promotions, but declined to take them. And yes, it's case-by-case, but a lot of firms won't do it. Period.
Probably happens more on the S&T side, but I've never seen or heard about someone getting promoted to associate after just two years at my bank & group. This is probably a bad reason to choose a bank anyway though... titles don't really mean shit most of the time, and if you're good, you'll get rewarded accordingly (or if you don't, you just leave to someplace that will).
