It will depend almost entirely upon growth and promotion rates within your airline.

One would hope and expect that any First Officer worth his or her salt, would be a very proficient Deputy Captain within 4 to 5 years of service. God help us if they make command in less than that time (unless they've held a command elsewhere).
