There's no fix timeline. Two colleagues of mine and I did it in 1 year. Some take 1.5-2 or even 2.5 years. It's based on how quickly you learn your system, how good are you with operations, what projects you've worked on, and definitely depends upon your manager.
What if working under Sr Manager. Not manager?
I did it in 1.5 years, teammate did it in 1 year, I’ve seen people take 2-4 years. If you push for it take on responsibility, work some evenings and weekends to deliver artifacts 1 year is ez pz. Working normal hours and pushing 1.5-2 years, but you still need to stay on top of it with your manager - they’re the main blocker, they have a million things to do so you need to stay on them or it’ll drop on the wayside
~2 years
