Moving from T2 consulting to T2 consulting... 1.5 YoE. Move is for switching industry focus. Should I level down to analyst role w/ 1 year tenure, or shoot for senior analyst (2 yrs tenure). Perhaps a middle option with 1.5 years tenure? For context, post-MBA level would be another year or 2 after senior analyst I believe.

Depends on the role, responsibility, pay.

Coming in lower will likely make you a top performer, up for promotion. However, coming in higher will bring more pay and you won’t need to worry about promotion timelines right away. But you’re adjustment could be more challenging as they’ll expect you to hit the ground running faster and need less guidance.

Some firms might automatically put you at the lower level because you haven’t met the tenure/requirements for the higher level.

If you’re ready for the next level, go for it!

I was in a similar position 3-4 years ago. I interviewed for the higher level, but got offered the lower level simply because of YOE. I was paid well for my level, seen as a top performer, and have now been promoted twice. I didn’t enjoy feeling like I was placed a level behind where I thought I should have been though. That made me less motivated, especially since people in my graduating class were a level ahead. Now it’s finally evened out.
