A s& recruiter mentioned I would come in as a “third year senior associate” - what does that mean for comp/my placement in the hierarchy? For reference I’m at the post-mba-hire level at my current firm.

It means you’d come in as a third year senior associate (aka almost about to be promoted to manager, likely in 1 year).

They usually do this if you’re not coming from a consulting background so it gives you a year to get acclimated to the company and culture.

If you applied for manager and they’re tell you to be a 3rd year associate, I would push back and say you’re ready for manager.

And is manager the equivalent of a case team leader/engagement manager?

Yes it’s is equivalent to team leader/engagement manager. I believe the structure for strategy & is Associate (0-3), Senior Associate (3-6), Manager (6-9/10), SM (9/10-12/13/14), Director (12/13/14-Partner/MD - random timeline).

Note this is a general overview on YOE for each position, it can vary based on what you come in as and how well you perform.

You’ll have control over the team as a Manager but not full control until you are a Senior Manager.

You should hopefully get a good pay bump as well when you are promoted to Manager.

The general rule of thumb for a mortgage is 28% (primary residence) of gross income. My firm switched up their process and now instead of nice size raises it’s large bonuses.

Maybe use agi on tax return instead of gross income?
