From sr analyst to specialist, people usually take 1-2 years. 2 years is stretching it by a fair bit.

In c&m, analyst to consultant (level9 equivalent of specialist/team lead) takes 1.5years to 2.5years typicallt. Very very few would make it at 3 years mark. The bad thing is they dont have a middle level to promote to so they would just suffer with their analyst pay.
