Probably would depend on the group and your skillset but I doubt they would take you on as a SA with that little experience. I came in as an experienced A at KPMG and was promoted within the first year. So if it’s something your interested in, and the dollars make sense, it’s definitely possible to get promoted fast.

I had more experience than that and they still didn’t offer SA, but experienced A. They may ask you if you’ll be ok with experienced A

Did you apply for both or just one?

Try and see what happens

Applied with 3 Years experience in industry, F500, for Senior Associate role and was offered an Experienced Associate level position.

Echoing everyone above, you can try but highly doubt it works. Only exceptions would be you blow everyone away in interviews or there’s such a big need.

You could try arguing for experienced A but fast track to SA this year (our FY is Oct-Sep)

Had an interview for SM role at ACN 3 weeks back but haven’t heard back. This was skills round interview after HR round. Am I still in the game or it’s a no? Don’t want to followup with HR just yet.

I went through six rounds of interviews including putting together a 30 minute presentation which I presented to the whole team. The whole process took about six weeks. I turned down another lead position at a different company waiting. After all that they told me that hiring for this role was on hold until further notice. At the end of the day it’s business, but I am left feeling like I wasted my time (and theirs.)Totally confused and disheartened by this process. Anyone else experiencing this?
