Post-MBA Associate Lateral Timing

I’ve heard 3 different opinions on when post-MBA associates, or associates in general, should consider laterals:
1. 1 year in with some experience but still fresh and flexible
2. just before VP to jump up to VP
3. just after VP once you’ve proven yourself more.

Anyone have any insight as to when the best time is?
