I am curious about the skill set requirement/expectation of "experienced hire" vs. "MBA hire". I have already graduated from MBA and I am currently working in another tier 2 consulting firm (for 1 year). I am planning to apply for "experienced hire" this year.
I have heard that experienced hire usually target candidates with 5-7 years of experience in a specific industry. Companies expect them to have specific industry knowledge, and the experienced hire vacancies are based on project needs. If this is true, does it mean that an experienced hire will not be considered for a generalist role like MBA hires? On the other hand, skill set requirement for MBA hires seem to be quite flexible (i.e. not seeking for specific industry / function expertise). As my work experience is has covered quite a wide range, my skill set is more "multi-dimensional" instead of possessing one specific skill. Will this make my profile not attractive, given that I can only apply as an experience hire? Thanks in advance.
