Does anyone hire strategists fresh out of school/internships? Seems like there aren’t any entry level jobs out there!

Of course. But you’ll have to bust ass and prove your worth, way before you get an offer. Good interns will create an entry level opening for themselves. That door isn’t just sitting there. You gotta pry that shit open.

Yes - we have an Associate program, which basically gives you a (paid) years training. It will be announced on LinkedIn and our website etc

Otherwise it’s tough, as strategists are usually not super useful (read: billable) for a year or two.
