Depends. A lot of times internal role titles are inflated as well

I think it depends on the company
Like look at capital ones internal strat team, some of their managers and senior managers are 3-4 years post undergrad.
But with other f500 companies, it’s a lot slower and more stagnant
I would say overall, external consultants move through the ranks faster...
