~ 2 years at ZS London. About to get promoted from assc. to assc. consultant soon. Have an offer from analysys mason. Senior consultant, transf. & value creation. Pay will roughly be the same either way.

Main goal is to get into mbb, if this helps me get there I want to move, but if it's a step in the wrong direction, I'll stay at ZS. Any thoughts would be great. And in general about analysys mason

Agnostic of industry preferences and speaking purely from an outsider POV, ZS is the stronger brand within consulting imo. I don’t know either of these firms very well, but ZS had a decent presence and pipeline from oxbridge recruiting

This makes sense, esp given I don't really have an industry preference and moreso just want to avoid being pigeonholed into one industry early on

Stay at ZS if the goal is to lateral to MBB - if you move it will take longer to make that switch

If you want to work in telecoms long term, take the move, work really hard to target BCG (they dominate telecoms) in your first 18 months

BCG have been embedded in the telecoms strat functions at least the last decade I’m familiar with from what I’ve seen between in-house and consulting corp dev. Primary strat partners for Vodafone, Telefonica, BT, wouldn’t surprise me if they’re everywhere else I’ve had less of a view.

Whats the pay like at both firm

I think just naming difference. Same role

ZS has no brand value at MBB.

What are your working hours like at ZS London?

Did you take it?

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role
