Probably ASO2 if you do 2 years, ASO3 if you do 3 years. 

If ASO3, pretty unlikely you get VP after 6mo at the bank, would expect to do an extra ASO year no matter what (and potentially even so if you come in at ASO2 unless you are a very strong performer)

A lot of ASO laterals have to do an extra year even if coming from a similar role in IB, just takes time to build the reputation and senior support you need to cross the line for VP.
