Senior 1 at EY and have been going through the recruiting process at PWC. The recruiter says I should accept a Exp. Associate role because I’ll be promoted faster than coming in at SA. Is this true?

Hahahaha. No. Get SA now. We hear this all the time

Absolutely do not fall for that

Don’t take it unless they give you SA title upfront. The recruiter has zero influence on promotion process.

Not at all. If anything, it’s too soft - no pun intended...

PwC did the same to me. Tell them that in order to consider the position you need that level. Otherwise walk. Never ever let the B4 do that to you - it’s such garbage

So if I frame it “I’ve already done Senior responsibilities as x, y, z and I’m not comfortable taking a title lower than what I currently have?” Does that sound too dickish?

Thought so. Thanks. Any ideas on how to best push back on this?

Nope! Do not accept anything less than your current level it’s a scam!

Just make sure your salary requirements are outside their max associate range.
