Gotcha. I was in a large office and we usually had around 10 EDPs and 6 DPs out of an AC1 cohort of 45-50. This was two years ago though!

For early promotes to SM in 2-2.5 years, those are increasingly common now in my office, but could be driven in part due to the higher % of FEMPs (OP, these are post-MBA Bainies who were ACs) though not consistently.
