Can I apply to Deloitte or any other big 4 for a general consultant/associate role? Or does it have to be a specific role?

General is fine

Like how general are we talking here? At least choose from human capital, technology, and strategy..

But how? When I look at their experienced hire positions I find very specific roles. I would love to apply general

I’m in my first year at my firm post grad

At big 4, unless you're specifically tagged to strategy, you'll be in a practice that for lateral hires will require specialized skills. You'll have some variety and will be able to broaden your skillset but ultimately practices don't want to bring in an experienced hire for what is normally an entry level role (unless it's strategy)

Hot take: leave consulting asap! Mgmt/strategy consulting is not doing well as a whole and wont be for while.

I’m an avid linkedin user and I’ve noticed 50% of my practice now has premium. Must be saying something.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
