2 years

Junior planner to planner takes about a year or two. Planner to senior planner can take up to 5 years. It depends on how each agency defines role and responsibilities and how raises and salaries work at your particular agency.

2 to 5

As D51 said, it really depends on the agency & therefore the opportunities. I started at a small place & made it from Jr -> Planner -> Sr Plan in 2 years, but there was no one except an Associate. Director in front of me & we were winning new business so hiring more Jr people. Expect 3-4 years & be pleasantly surprised if less!

One thing they don't prepare you for when you're getting into advertising is the extent to which being a cheerleader propels you. I'm not a misanthrope, but I'm definitely not naturally wired for cheerleading and it for sure has had an adverse impact on my career.

Just a heads up- Jewish New Years starts tomorrow night, Yom Kippur is next week followed by sukkot. This period of time can be very stressful for Jewish colleagues who are trying to balance work, family and religion. Please be conscience of their schedule.
