Hi Mentors, seek your advice. I have done civil engineering + Project Management. Currently I'm working with project management team as planning engineer in a real estate firm.
Now I am willing to switch into Consulting domain but not getting any leads, also daily I'm applying n numbers of company on LinkedIn, Naukri and Indeed but not a single light of hope I'm seeing.
Can anyone please guide me, how should I approach to a company. It'll be a great help indeed Jacobs CDM Smith JPM

33. Not sure what the average age is but anecdotally I agree with you - it certainly seems to have gone up.
Made Principal at 34 in 2020. Next youngest person I knew from the US in my cohort was 36/37 with the vast majority in the 38-42 age range. I’d say it’s continuing to skew older especially over the last couple years.
I made it at 30, but that was exceptionally early at my firm. Most of my peer partners are 15+ years older, and the average age of new partner promotions is 40+ yo. Market is tough these days, so fewer partner promotions, and usually those have been in the industry for a long time and built networks, etc.
35 I d say slightly earlier than average
Made partner at 36 years old, 10 years in. That was 14 years ago
Average age in my firm is 60. 😂
Coach
38 - after 15 years in the hole
35 and I started at 25 out of undergrad (late start to college due to military service)
Made it after 15 years, at age 39
39
36, 14 years in
34
But we have a big spread - earliest I’ve seen at our Firm was 28
36 which seems about average ish to me
Mdp
35 after 13 years at the firm shortly after undergrad. In other practices, it’s possible to make in 8-10 years so around 30. My practice trends longer path / older since most clients are older.
~8 years post MBA is pretty typical here assuming someone goes straight through. Lots of people take a bit longer because of LOAs, Secondments etc.
40, joined at 33 as an exp hire manager
Parter at 34.
36. 7 years after MBA. T2 firm
34 at BCG. A few years earlier than average. Mostly because I went for MBA pretty young vs peers (graduated at 27).
34 equity partner. 37 now. Average around early 40s
