The Decision Analytics Associate Consultant JD states that 2-4 years of work ex is required, but an MBA/PhD can substitute in lieu of that.

So basically an MBA fresher is eligible for the job ?

A manager at ZS told me you're over qualified for Associate and under qualified for AC.

Don’t listen to ZS1 and ZS2- they are working under god knows what assumption.. it seems like you are in a bad state- you have 0 experience and are currently pursuing MBA hence the Manger said that you are over qualified for A but under qualified for AC.. listen to that Manager, he probably knows better than 1 and 2. MBA is not equal to a 1 level promotion, although it’s hard to get an MBA as Associate- salary would not be enough.. if you had 1-2 years of experience then definitely you would have been hired as AC but with 0 experience it’s kind of - maybe KM situation?? Don’t know how it works, but 1 and 2 definitely don’t know so don’t listen to them..
