How do promotions work (Analyst 0, 1, 2, etc)

Can anyone please explain how promotions work as an analyst? 2.5 years analyst programme, bonus is paid in Winter and promotions announced in January.

If I start in July will I be an analyst 1 for 6 months and then get promoted to analyst 2 (with salary increase) after only 6 months?

 
 

No, it is never OK for an analyst to staff another analyst. Generally speaking, the only time you'll find two analysts from the same project working on a deal is when a 2nd year is about to leave and they need to transition another analyst onto a project.

3rd years get better work than 2nd years who get better work than 1st years. This, again, is just a generality. 3rd years are not exempt from the shittiest grunt work. However, their responsibilities and work do tend to be higher level than those of a 1st year.
