I have my final interview scheduled tomorrow with S&.
I have applied online for a “full time consulting position” targeted for my business school. I have 6 years industry experience and a masters (Non-MBA) from a target business school.
During the early process they have not indicated the level at which I'm interviewing for.
However during my first round of interviews the first interviewer suggested Associate level 2-3 but suggested I get in touch with the HR to inquire about this. When I did, she mentioned Associate level 1 however I said let's make sure that I'm the right fit and then we decide, I'm flexible.
The second interview the interviewer suggested senior associate 1 or associate 3. Which I believe is fair.
I didn't want to discuss this with the HR and I thought it would be better to get to the last interview and then discuss it.
The problem is they just called me and they said your final interview is going to be tomorrow.
What do you suggest I do?
Should I bring it up with the partner in my final interview? Should I wait until I get accepted first and then negotiate?
Or should I call the HR before the interview and indicate to her that my interviewers suggested A3 or SA1 and explain that I feel I have skills that the firm can utilize better at a SA level (i.e. leadership, etc)
I really can use a piece of advice.
