If you are a quick learner and hustler, then you can definitely grow. Many many examples in ZS.

I don't think he/she is a lateral hire, it looks like he/she joined as an Associate and then progressed for a C, it seems like a home grown consultant for me. Definitely he/she would have put in a lot of efforts to climb the ladder at such a great pace.

like

But still he/she joined as an Associate only it seems. So she started her career in ZS from ground level and according to me, it's home grown and not lateral AC/C.

As an associate join Kiya tha then AC jaldi bane hai because obviously they were a good fit for the role coming from evalueserve. AC for 5 cycles in India then since they took a transfer to London it took more time. The point is - if the person had joined as an AC I can guarantee you even in India it would've taken 3 years for a promotion to C (which seems like the case currently as well)

This is a homegrown case itself but just some acceleration on the A to AC part, and post that AC to C didn't happen till 2.5 years. Kudos to you for getting a transfer to London but this is a pretty average case.

So as M1 said, it completely depends on you and your manager.

Exactly

This is not a lateral hire

There are already several examples for laterals joining as AC, and moving to M level in next 3.5 to 4 years... You need to be able to put efforts in the right direction and be at the right time, right place to make sure that it happens...

like

I don't think lateral A or AC can be considered lateral in the true sense. That's too early in the career. The real game begins at C level or upward from that level.

like

But all AC's who join laterally are labelled as one

But why London ? US is the major hub ryte ? And most of our clients are in the US

One of the lucky few!
