Hello all,
I'm currently working on azure cloud in Cognizant . I've about 1.4 years of experience now. I've got an offer from Axtria as an L1 Analyst. Could anyone please suggest if the change in field is worth it. Or should I just look for other jobs in cloud only? I will have to decide this at the earliest so please do help me with it.
After how many years of exp we should join tcs

I’m an L6 SDM at Amazon but a Meta recruiter sent me an M2 sdm job description. I have all the XP I need from previous job experience but does Meta keep your same level as Amazon? Meaning if I am an L6 at Amazon am I automatically interviewing at M1 or can I jump to an M2?Amazon Facebook (Meta)

The recruiting process for bcg will be that they will never contact you and everyone here will tell you to get an mba from a m7
I don't think 1.5 years in strategy in international company is going to land you above starting level in any Tier 1/2 consulting firm (maybe Big4?) unless you network very well and absolutely nail the interviews. Hence your process won't be too different. But that's just my 0.02.
Yeah being in a strategy firm for 2 years, the biggest things you learn are structured problem solving, dope deck building (which I really do think is differentiated from decks we’ve seen from our Mc counterparts), and excel basics.
The process will be mostly the same as non strategy folks maybe even harder because they expect you to NAIL the interviews. We definitely had higher quant expectations for interviewers from other strat firms
For BCG, likely quite similar to the college recruiting process. First round with two case and fit interviews and final round with three case and fit interviews. You’d likely come in as an associate (the post undergrad role). You could try asking for tenure credit to come in as a more senior associate, but I don’t think you’re too likely to get it (and you’d then have a shorter runway to get promoted to consultant or leave)
For OW, the process will be the same as the undergrad process, ie 6 interviews (Personal fit plus case)
I’m aware I would be starting at a lower level position was just wondering what the recruiting process at these 2 companies looks like for off-cycle hires not coming from undergrad. Looking for more specifics if anyone has gone through this?
1. You apply
2. Get a call back from recruiter
3. First round interviews
4. Final round interviews
5. Offer
I was also off cycle experienced hire so most of interviews were just me (i.e. not super day type)
