What firm? Depends if the firm you are with generally promotes after A2 or if a third year is normal.

Isn’t that the standard progression?

Every B4 except PWC which is 3 yrs standard

Depends on the firm. B4 usually yes. Mid size or smaller firms it can take upto 3 years as staff to become senior

PwC is usually 3 years as associate.
