Will have 1+ year of consulting experience at time of joining (3y thru college). Accenture refused to consider me for senior analyst, insisted on CDP analyst L11 . I’m bummed, any advice?

Can you argue to be at the top of their range? And even though you have that experience, was it full-time? Was it with a comparable firm? Have you asked them if they feel like you are doing an amazing job in six months and that you are ready to be promoted to the next level, what will you have accomplished?

The last question would help you discover what they think you lack.

You could also try asking why the 1 year experience is not valuable enough.

You need to get to the actual reason to be able to shift their thinking.

I would think you'd need a bit more YOE in a professional env to be considered for a senior analyst. Maybe they're just looking at the bare words of the resume and aren't considering what kind of college work you are saying should qualify you.

Well I know people with 1 yoe in professional env who directly joined as senior. Not sure why I can’t even be considered (let alone accepted) for it

Are you still in college and about to graduate? That might be why. I’m hopping to ACN with a lil over 1 yoe and going in as L9. But they probs are okay with that given that I’ve been in a professional consulting environment as a FTE

Hi all, I’m looking to switch into Strategic Finance at a tech company and was looking to chat with someone in a similar role. I have total 4 yoe, the last 3 being in a quant role at a major valuation firm. I want to switch into a more cross-functional and strategic role while still working in finance which is why a strategic finance role seemed a good fit. Finding it tough to get interviews so looking to connect with people in these roles. Thanks!

I’ve been exclusively dating for 6 months. He’s never asked me anything to do with my career other than ‘how was work’. I don’t even think he knows what I do. Last night he made a ‘joke’ about me being a stay at home mom once we have kids. For context we are both Muslim but I was under the assumption that he was modern (we drink alcohol, have sex and so on). Honest opinion is this a red flag?
