For consulting recruitment on campuses, will it always be a standard Associate position for MBB, Big 4, Accenture etc. or can you get a more senior position based on your previous non-consulting experience?

I’ve heard from McKinsey a couple of times that they can “elevate” your proposed position based on your experience. Here in Accenture it can happen, but needs to be discussed with HR.

like

There’s just no incentive for one of these forms to offer you something other than their standard post-MBA role. I imagine it’s theoretically possible but can’t think of a situation where this would happen, particularly for a larger firm with defined policies.

Yeah, like I said it’s theoretically possible - maybe you’d have more luck with a smaller, more specialized group like BCG digital ventures where that experience would be particularly valuable.

If I’m hiring 500+ MBAs a year though, the last thing I want to do is get into a bunch of one off negotiations which is why the offers are (typically) non-negotiable.
