Would you say generally consulting firms value experience > gpa > involvements when recruiting out of undergrad or does it vary across company?

I’m from a non target school. Had a 3.7 when I graduated and no internships. Although I did try to launch a startup while in school and I failed, we were able to build a team of 5 people, from 3 different countries, and a an app that was very well developed and honestly ready for market. Never got the chance to take it further though, thanks to a lack of further resources (did it all with nothing). I guess that counted as my “internship”

If you’re recruiting out of undergrad, they won’t they much about your experience

I would say:
gpa > school name > internships and / extra curricular (a balanced combo of is better); there are successful candidates without good internship experiences. If you’re from a non target school, it would help to a great gpa and relevant internship / extra curricular.

Can you help explain why a team would be able to afford hiring an individual under PDM at a higher salary but unable to offer the same package under the Traditional route?

For context, I’m currently negotiating for a role and have expressed some of my concerns. My recruiter has been very helpful, but I’d like to better understand the reasoning before making my decision. The offer is $100k for PDM, but $85k max if brought on as Traditional.

Thank you for your help and any additional thoughts!

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
