Are advisory engagements getting a lot more sweaty for you guys? Seems a lot of teams have decided advisory can be pressured to be in busy season as if they wish to relive their audit days.

Yep. Hours have been crazy the last two months and they made me fly out this morning to be working this afternoon with a promise of Friday off to make up with. I doubt that actually happens. Actively looking for another job.

D1, it's literally part of the job... this isn't a 9-5 Monday through Friday job that can all be done without traveling. In this job, you have to learn how to set some boundaries and manage yourself for the long term. Some weeks are more busy than others. Did you even try and ask for it off - note in advance you were gonna take it saying you need a breather after the week of travel, as was previously discussed

Yes…

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

Would it be hard to get a exp associate role in advisory at a B4 as someone with about 10 months in audit at EY, 7 months experience in corporate accounting at a F300 and CPA?
