The timeline is dependent upon the SALARY of the position which you want to obtain.  For every $10,000 in salary you want to earn, expect for it to take ONE MONTH to obtain that position.  For example:  If you desire to earn $80K per year, then on average it will take you 8 months.  If you desire to earn $120K per year, then on average it will take you 1 year.  If you desire to earn $180K, then on average it will take you 18 months.
