I just got a call about a position at KPMG to be a Creative Writer that is part of advisory in a new “creative pod.” They say it’s cross functional, a part of consulting, and client facing, but it’s labeled as a creative writer?

Is it possible to negotiate your consulting level when joining a firm post MBA? I did ~2.5 years consulting (analyst > sr analyst) then left right before I got promoted to associate. Left to a Chief of Staff role (1 yr) then did strategy & Ops at the same company (1.5 years). Getting my MBA beginning fall 2023 and thinking of doing consulting again after I graduate but I think I would be coming in at the level I was before I left which is off putting for me.
