BCG fish: Do experienced hires (industry, but no consulting experience) ever come in at PL level? Job advert is for PL: Expert Track in Healthcare/R&D and it specifies 7+ years of consulting or "excellent industry and sufficient consulting experience". I realise this somewhat answers my question for this role, but curious in practice whether non-consulting exp. hires can come in at PL?

I think its possible (seen some cases) but not sure if its the norm.

For expert track yes. It doesn’t happen as much within the core consulting team

The fact that the firm treats them as second class citizens to the rest of the consulting teams. They do this bc for the most part the firm doesn’t value expertise.
