AN1 to Associate in <2yrs (London)

Hi all,

Have you ever seen/heard Analysts getting fast tracked in London and doing only 1-1.5 years of Analyst before being promoted to Associate? I know many banks are now running 2yrs analyst cycles instead of 3 but wondered if you can further squeeze it

i'm curious how recruiting for london is as an american is like. do they sponsor or is it just impossible? i'll be interning in london this summer (not ib or high fin) so i want to network in-person there and wondering if that will help my chances.
