I joined EY at 29 after grad school. Depends on what group you're in but you'll probably be among the older people in your cohort. I found it a little uncomfortable being at the bottom of the totem pole at that age but my group was more brutally hierarchical than most. Once I made senior it was fine

I did my gad school and joined as a staff too . Senior now but sometimes the hierarchy gets to you .in my thirties now and most people growing up in the firm are senior managers by then

Nah I got a master's and they hire masters at staff level. Also my prior work experience was in a totally different field. Although I know JDs and MBAs who also came in at staff level as well...in my group only PhDs automatically joined as senior

I was 24 when I joined as a Staff. Im one of those unlucky souls who got an MBA and still got stuck as a Staff.

It gets tough when you look around and see some really immature people straight out of college with no work experience making the same as you. The worst is getting babysat because people assume you know nothing. I'm looking forward to getting out of Staff rank but happy to be at the firm overall.

One of ex’s friends who is I met twice, has been in touch, him and his wife, like commenting on some of my posts occasionally (we are just fb friends and IG friends). I never saw them since.

He felt awkward doing that, I thanked him for thinking of me, but then he said we all told your ex he is an idiot for letting you go and they asked my ex it they could still be touch with me and he said yes.
