How fast can i make it to senior financial analyst?

In a F500 FLDP from undergrad. I was told I'd be up for promotion after year one? What is above an analyst and what salary increase should I expect? (Base starting at $55k)

How fast could I make senior financial analyst? ( salary I could expect?)

Unrelated--> I totally want to work for an auto company, do you think I could transfer over fairly easily after my FLDP program? What position should I wait to get get before transferring over?

Thanks a million everyone.

In one year? Not a chance. If they're truly saying you'll go from a FA to a SFA that's shady recruiting. My guess is they have something like a Financial Analyst II, which is really just a higher paid Financial Analyst but not a level up. I would expect 50-60k base starting depending on the area. I would expect 3-5 years to make it to a senior financial analyst role.

Yes, it's very easy in corporate finance to jump industries. If you are working for a manufacturing company, I would suggest trying to rotate through those areas as auto manufacturers will highly value that.

 

To be specific, they said "promotion" not senior financial analyst so I was wondering what that (in-between) rank would be.
