How are experienced hires vs recent grads treated at top consulting firms? I understand that each branch of each firm will be different from the other and it depends on the leadership. But have there been any uniform truths that people have noticed?

I am an experienced hire. I note that the recent grads get treated like I do. That can be frustrating for people like me who have experience, but it’s good for the grads because they’re treated equally.

Accenture 1, so from your perspective despite the gap in experience, the two classes are treated equally? Can you think of a reason in company or industry culture that would dictate that practice?

I think it’s their culture. Accenture seems to value fresh ideas, and grads can be a great source of them. I’ve been there about a year, and this has been my experience.

Feeling that my brain has been on “auto pilot” mode for years. I am Principal in one of the top consulting firms, promoted on fast track basis, so have not been “lazy” and doing good at work.

Does anybody else feel the same way? (Contd).
