I would say yes depending on role/scope. Our team hires MBA interns at L5 / L4 depending on performance

Yes - just nail the interviews. Know of many who come in at L6 with slightly more experience.

Overall very hard to get a job with that level of experience.

How YoE pre MBA? And in which which industry?

I think if some of those are relevant to a role you’re applying to, then you should be fine at L4. Close to L5 and maybe MBA + strong interviews get you over!

Coming out of UG, I accepted my first job b/c I thought I had to based on status of other interviews. I ended up quitting after 8 weeks in favor of an opportunity I perceived to be better, but took longer to get. 7 months into the new gig, I am NOT happy. Considering this is technically my second job out of school, how long should I stick around before trying to leave without looking like a total scumbag opportunist?

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.
