They all go off experience, mileage may vary on what level you enter at when compared to just getting an MBA (but don’t forget that getting an MBA costs two years of time and significant amounts of money).

I guess to be clear, (at Deloitte) being recruited from a TARGET MBA campus would get you to enter at the Senior Consultant level with little experience (from 2-4 YOE). Our sponsored mbas have 3-4 YOE when applying to school and come back as seniors. More experience pre MBA won’t get you a higher level, SC is standard.

Going through the experienced hire process may place you higher or lower than that based on YOE and how you market your experience.I’ve seen people with tons of industry experience come in as C, have seen people with consulting experience jump in at SC/M w less experience in years. Experienced hire process seems to be less systematic in translating experience to levels but I am not a recruiter so just speaking from observation

I'm a PhD student (graduating next year) looking to pursue consulting (ideally at MBB or Big 4). I would love to learn about full-time opportunities in New York starting 2023

I would like to transfer my career to Healthcare Data Analytics. I’m gaining my data analytics certification by the ending of November. I’ve also worked and still currently working for great healthcare company’s. I also have lots of great healthcare data experience. My only concern is no degree. What can I say to recruiters that will WOW them or replace the fact I have no degree because that’s what most of these company’s require.
