Biggest difference is level of content knowledge and expertise. Coming in at Associate you would be expected to have a clear direction and area of knowledge. With 3 years you would likely be placed at the SC level as they often downplay outside experience.

Trajectory should still be the same for at least that next year. I would see that year really be a chance just to learn the 'OW Way'. Also FYI, the Digital presence is still largely in it's infancy. If you can position Tech experience, that should give you a leg up given the recent priority set by leadership.

How does one apply?

Thanks A1, what's the time frame to make associate from SC? 1-3?

OW sells themselves to undergrads as the place for accelerated career progression (grad to partner in 7 years is possible if you are ridiculous and FS focused). If you are performing, you should make it to Associate in one year. A sizable chunk of new hires will get to SC in 1.5 and then Associate one year later.

Thanks A1, I'm looking to get into the retail and TMT practice, not FS.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
