1 year out of college and I’m being asked to interview for a Senior (Post-MBA) role at a rival firm. Is this normal? Don’t want to set myself up to fail

With 1 year of experience? Lol yes.... when you say “senior” must be referring to “Senior Consultant” right? Not actual management?

Haha yes. I’d be that Partner in diapers if it was actual senior

Why consultant post MBA

Not all firms “senior” titles mean the same thing

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
