Been here getting on for 6 years, 330/340 - then forced onto 380 when 330 upgrades were on the horizon.....current rules, around another 2 years plus for me. Previously lots of command time, but all below the magic 55 tonnes figure. Rules always changing, never in my favour. The reality is that upgrade is a total lottery for some, a given for others depending on fleet etc. so bear in mind, it could be 8 years....fast in terms of some airlines, but not the speedy progression that the recruiters spoke of.
