Associate consultant where? An associate consultant in one company can be a completely different designation in another company.
Without knowing which company you work in, your educational background etc, it’s next to impossible to say anything.

Hey Hi,

I have applied for the business analyst position at McKinsey & Company.

I have an MBA with a specialisation in marketing and HR.

The year of graduation is 2022.

I am currently employed as a business analyst for an Indian firm.

Do you have any ideas on the interview process? Will PSG be used?

@OP from what I have seen at least in North America, you won’t be considered for the BA position since you have over 3 years of experience

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it.
