I think most people here come from MD and/or PhD backgrounds. In the post-consulting job search, anyone else find it difficult being interviewed by people significantly younger than them but senior to them? Not being ageist but just feels like I’m behind sometimes when a mid-20-something is ahead of me in my early 30s

Was just thinking about this today! I’m 38 and an EM, with a PhD. I’m definitely the oldest EM in my firm. I’ve had multiple bosses younger than me. I’m way older than the new analysts I work with.

I do feel a bit odd sometimes but in consulting I feel ok overall. Like you said, your future boss in industry being under 30 is just…weird. There’s a lot of milestones that typically occur from 27-35, so relating to them is difficult and I feel it’s impacting the “vibes” aspect of hiring for sure.

I am an MD who pursued an MBA, joined consulting and am now looking to exit to industry. I am surprised that people only see my seniority in consulting as a decision factor to calibrate my health industry role. I have significant relevant experience as an MD and in health management pre MBA. Have others faced a similar conundrum ?

Yes, and also how it is so variable from company to company whether YOE from PhD counts at all towards total YOE for the role, which can put you at a big disadvantage
