I've conducted several informational interviews with EY consultants recently to learn more about the field and the firm. I had mentioned that I applied for an EY staff business consulting role recently, and a few of them said that I should apply for a Senior Consulting role as well. These consultants said that I would be a good fit because I'm getting my MBA. I'm need some advice as I don't have consulting experience, and I want to get some base line experience.

You may come into the firm as a staff 2 vs staff 1 if you obtain your masters before your start date. If you don’t have consulting experience I don’t think the senior role will be a good fit quite yet.

At the end of the day, apply for either the senior or staff role, the worst EY can do is say no. Instead of focusing on the negatives such as not having consulting experience, focus on your strengths on what would make you a strong candidate for a senior role.

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected.

Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.
