my rule of thumb is, whenever i feel my employer is keeping me down, ie not promoting advancement or specifically holding information from me that would enable me to learn or advance in my career, it's time to leave the firm. you want a boss who is your advocate, not your adversiary. you'll find in finance that some people are frankly greedy bastards and want to keep you in a box where you show up, perform your tasks and leave. if you are on this message board and a cfa candidate you are probably a bit more motivated than the 9 - 5 ers and not willing to accept this fate. there is something to be said for being patient, but at a certain point the grass is in fact greener and it's time to go.
