AE role above me is vacant & is not being back filled soon. Was told this is a “great opportunity” for me. Wondering how much time is appropriate to pass before pushing for a promotion...

How long have you been there? Has it been long enough to show you are capable of filling the role?
Put together your list of things you've done to fill that space and present your case to your supervisor. If they aren't ready to give it to you then ask for an action plan. Then set up a follow up plan with them to track your progress. You need to be actively working toward advancement and engaged in your roadmap. Don't just bide your time and hope someone notices. If you've been told this is an opportunity, actively seize it.

Also want to add that i am being recognized for helping as much as i can to “fill that role” while it is vacant. Afraid to get stuck pulling up slack without title/compensation.

Let it be known that you are interested in moving up to that role. Sometimes people are so caught up in their day to day that they can't see what is staring them in the face. Agree with previous poster that if they say you're not ready, ask to put together a progression plan so you and your boss know when you might be ready and work towards that goal, identifying milestones and accomplishments along the way.

I’m an FA at ML, been in the role for 1 year and 8 months, but have 23 years of industry experience.

First of all, who is “they” / “them” and what would the letter of education be for? Any thoughts?

It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
