"Experience" is more of a factor of "exposure" than just purely the number of years. In consulting you get exposure to a large number of business challenges and environments. And as a result you have gained the necessary experience even though it may not seem like a lot of years.

How many interviews is too many? I’ve done 5 one on ones with different people in the practice group. They want me to talk to a few more, but I’m frustrated. It’s so hard to find time to schedule these things and the associates don’t seem to understand I can’t just take them in the middle of the work day at work. Recruiter thinks it’s a good sign. FWIW they haven’t communicated to me position level they’d expect.
