Ramping up period

For new analysts at hegde funds (think a multi-manager coming out of a 2 year banking program), what does the ramping up period look like?

How long does it take to be comfortable in the role and understand your PM/senior analyst process?

What are expectations for the first 6 months and how can new analysts ramp up most quickly?
