Had someone from PWC contact me about a position today as a Senior Associate. They said since I graduated in May 2017 and started working In Sept 2017, I would have just made Senior if I was a campus hire. Is that true? Y’all take 3 years to Senior.

Yes PwC is dumb in that manner. They care about tenure way more than performance

Typical path takes three years at the associate level, so if you started in Fall 2017, you would have been promoted to Sr Associate in the Spring of 2020. So yes, the information you were given is accurate - their best guess is that you’d be in the middle of your first year as a Sr Associate right now.

It’s true

Isn’t senior associate the post-MBA level, or am I getting that confused with another firm? If so, 3 YOE to hit that level seems pretty good to me

At PwC, we used to have Associate (year 1), Experienced Associate (years 2-3), and Senior Associate. Associate to Experienced was automatic, but we’ve since done away with the distinction and Associate has levels A1/A2/A3. Post-MBA always came in at Sr Associate, so it sounds like what you saw at EY was a bit of a hybrid of what we had at PwC.
