Experienced hires are VERY unlikely to come in as an EM and, if you do, will find the lack of context for what we expect of an EM to make for a brutal first year. It’s a really bad idea. Expert, yes. EM? No.

Thanks M1

They’ve been pushing hard to bring in at ASC level to get exposed to ‘McK way’ before being a Manager. Able to negotiate to Sr ASC (internal thing), so you’ll be placed in opp’s with potential to move quickly

Apply to EM level, they may down level if they want to. Or give you tenure credit with down level
