My firm has a slightly different structure: analyst -> associate -> manager -> Sr manager -> director -> MD
I made it from 1st year analyst to manager in 3 years (which could be our record), should get to Sr manager at 5-6 years total. Took lots of commitment, positioning myself in the right place at the right time, and leaning in (among others). I’d be lying if I said it was all skill or all luck - it humbly takes both.

4

In our company, 5. But I saw firsthand that those 5 years weren't a walk in the park. I definitely am not suited to dedicate myself like that (nights and weekends were involved).

In my company, I saw a girl go from analyst to manager in 3 years just because it was a really small company and she made big moves that really helped the company, so they wanted to make sure she would stay longer.

4 years

8-10 years at mine.

I’ve seen some go from analyst to VP in as little as 4 to 5 years, but that’s usually a combo of killer performance, strategic networking, and being in the right place at the right time. It’s definitely not the norm, but with focus and the right opportunities, fast tracks do happen

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
