2.5 YoE in process engineering at a solid E firm. Chem E degree. Looking to move into consulting. Asking for a friend, think he’d get an interview / offer? What level? EA, SC? Pay at a low COL city?

Depends on the role. Better odds in the pharma / chem / biotech sector. Probably entry level or one just above it. Pay would probably be comparable but with much worse hours.

2 Chem Es in my group. All Big 4 have some type of Mega or Infrastructure capital project teams.

We only hire experienced. Even at 2.5 yoe, that’s borderline Staff 2 or Senior 1.
