What percentage of people rise the ranks at Wellington/Fidelity?

Hi all,

Looking to potentially make the transition to an analyst position high yield group at Fidelity /Wellington coming from a blended private credit/equity role at a PE MF ( Blackstone / Bain ) after 4 years of experience. Interviews have been going well and I hope to secure the offer. One question I have that I haven't been given a clear answer on is the path to the top at Wellington/Fidelity. Getting in as an analyst is very hard, but how does promotability look like once you start as an analyst? Assuming you're a very solid performer and charismatic, is there a relatively guaranteed path to PM/partner (and making the big money) as long as you stick around? How long does it take to get to that level? Thank you!

You need to do 3 out the 4 well: differentiated / in-depth research, strong communicator, generate alpha, be likable. Idk the stats off the top of my head but if you can do 3 out of those 4 would put more in the "yours to lose" category

Generally takes 10+ years
