When are you no longer a new grad?

Published

How long after you graduate are you no longer considered a new grad? Is there a difference between say a new grad that has worked a year and a new grad out one year that has only worked a few months or not at all? When are we considered going from Novice/new grad to intermediate? When can I stop being considered a new grad?

If you check the date of the original post, HeartsOpenWide posted this in August 2010, nearly 2 years ago so her question was appropriate at that time. I'm not sure why this nearly 2 year old post was resurrected this week.
