How do you know if you applied for a position to low? What I mean is got accepted for a position as a senior associate but if all firms are desperate for staff should I have applied for experienced senior associate? I have two years of experience of public accounting and two years outside practice.

Experienced senior associate is not an actual position, in my experience. Might be different outside of the US though ?

I see there are positions advertised in the USA the same? The requirements for the position only really differ from experience

Experienced senior is a title at BDO.

No. Def not 10k. Probably 3-5k. Hiring for an experienced senior is different than being one for a year. Also glass door isn't perfect... Wouldn't put so much weight on it. People can be seniors for 3-5 years. Someone doing it for 5 is obviously going to make more than you.

Experienced senior isn't an offical title as far as I'm aware in big4 in the US. It might just mean anyone who's had at least a years worth of experience working at a senior level.

I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
