Also, can I PM you a quick question?
Sure go ahead. I've never used PM before so you might need to tell me how to use it/where to check.
Following up on the second one - do you know the general timeline of these processes? Appreciate your input!
Sure mate - you'll see a notification on the top right hand corner of your page above the mail icon, just click on it to access your inbox.
To your question - it's similar timeline to other roles, i.e. depends if you're an experienced hire or recent grad (undergrad for analyst / MBA for assoc). With your current experience you can pursue both routes, I'd reach out to recruiters and start getting on their radar when you're ready for interviews.
