Analyst to associate takes about 2-3 years. There is no 'senior associate' internal rank. DBS ranking structure is Analyst > Associate > AVP > VP > SVP > MD.

I suppose a 'senior' associate would be a associate with >2 years exp.

So Associate to AVP also about 2-3 yrs?

Then I guess all those senior associate I met at dbs just put the senior infront of their associate on their name card to self high
