Yes, I have a friend that was 6 years in ER who just joined MBB as an associate (in London)
Associate consultant as in entry-level at Bain? Is there no carryover in seniority/tenure from ER
Thé post MBA level
I see a lot of former ER people working for industry-specific knowledge/research teams at my firm. Making the direct jump to a client-facing consulting role as an experienced hire should be possible, but ER -> MBA -> Consulting is the more common route I've seen.
Hi, thanks, I have direct industry experience and ER experience covering the same sector, but don't know too much about consulting, case interview etc. What's the best way to get started?

Totally possible. Just get a referral and prep for case.
