How long does it take a junior research analyst to move up to different levels?

Question

Equities research. How long does it take to move up the career ladder, junior research, equity research, senior research, whatever else?

Answer 1

I really don't know the answer because i'm not in this line. But i believe it's the matter of exploration and experience form the works you gains. The more you expose yourself the more things you can learn and the faster you can move your way up. Having a mentor does help your direction as well.

Good luck!!                                                                      

Answer 2

Of course it assumes you perform above standards, so imagine 6 months to 2 years to be leave your junior status, then about 5+ to move higher.

Answer 3

Simple: make $$$ for the guy above you and the firm

$$$ does not care about your race, gender, education, etc
