Hello! New to this space and currently looking into Associate Brand Manager/Marketing roles within the industry.
I have one year of contract experience at EA with the rest as an in-house marketer at both a Fintech company and Marketing Consulting Firm.
Know competition is fierce as I look to come back full time. Any advice in regards to how to stand out to get that first call?

Bain & Company Hi, can anyone help me with (1) the salary bands for ‘Associate consultant’, ‘Senior Asc consultant’ to ‘Consultant’?

It won't matter for your career, just hit 3/4 YOE and you're good.
If you're switching industries, it really wouldn't matter what level you hit, and even in consulting you don't really get to skip the post MBA level unless you were above it before your MBA.
This is helpful perspective, thanks!
Pay bump won’t help in negotiation for campus recruiting. Title bump can help in admissions. Focus on getting a decent GMAT score if you wanna land in a top 20 MBA school with scholarship.
It won’t be the only advantage, but yes. There are many other variables when it comes to top MBA program admissions and prior career progression is one of them.
Also want to add that if I stay here until C, I'd get a huge pay bump which could be good to leverage in $ negotiations post MBA.
Huge pay bump that will also help with the MBA. I think you already know the answer

Unless you're doing a part time MBA the negotiation leverage will be negligible
In fact, at the margin, it could ding the school's stats. You'll get about the same salary post MBA but show a much smaller increase.
The way you framed the reason for your MBA - networking, time off and then switch to marketing is interesting.
Marketing makes sense. Networking - what is the purpose (its good but is an awfully expensive way to do it if not for a specific reason), Ans time off… a year off traveling would be cheaper …
Not saying don’t do it, but this post basically comes across as I have so much $ or parents who will pay for anything, I may as well take advantage and go to school again.
Thanks, you too!
Is the promotion mostly about title and pay, or is there actually a change in responsibilities and experience? If you’ll have differentially more supervisory experience, executive exposure, etc., more experience could help your chances of admission, caliber of school, shot at scholarship.
Remember also that you’re writing your application about a year before you matriculate, so you need to think about the competitiveness of your experience now vs a year from now, not just where you’ll be after promotion.
