Hi all,
I wasn't selected for an Associate Consultant position after the final rounds at a firm due to a headcount issue, but I got great feedback from the interview team and was told to stay in close contact. Today, they posted an Associate position, and I'm wondering whether I should reach out to the recruiter to see if I'm a fit for the more junior role. I do have relevant consulting work experience, though not the most among candidates, and think I am viable at the more junior level. However, since I was seriously considered for the AC role, I don't want to jeopardize my chances later on, send mixed signals, or undervalue myself. This is my top firm, and I'm currently unemployed. I really want an opportunity, but I don't want to come across as desperate in the process.
