I don't see as many mid-career hires.
Anyway, if you're slow, i'm way behind. I'm 35 and in a junior executive position, graded mx12. It has the fancy exaggerated title of 'manager', but what I did as a junior executive in a ministry last time was of a way higher level (eg. drafting policies, national level investigation work, etc) than what I do now.

Actually if you guys just ignore the titles and think of it in terms of REAL title in a company that doesn’t exaggerate title then the whole career progression would all make sense.
Manager = Executive
Senior Manager = Senior Executive
Assistant Director = Assistant Manager
Deputy Director = Junior Manager
Director = Mid Manager
Like for eg. to reach DD (aka Junior Manager in a normal big company) in your early to mid 30s is perfectly normal anyway. To hit Director at mid or late 40s (aka Mid Manager) also quite normal in the private sector.
