Not sure what this role is in terms of YOE. But I would say general rule of thumb:
- 1-3YOE - you apply to BA (you can try Asc but very unlikely)
- 3-5YOE - you apply to JA/Arc
- very rare to join directly as EM

Very unlikely imo

For BCG, the A/C application is generic - the process is the same and they’ll level you on their end, based on your relevant years of experience.

If you only have 1 year, you’ll likely come in as an Associate (i.e., entry level).

Yeah - I’ve seen people get no tenure for 3 yrs of consulting work post undergrad before. But honestly - the bar is pretty high at MBB and coming in at a more senior level could be a disservice to you

I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?
