Asked this in Consulting bowl too, but might be better suited here.
Anyone have insight as to comparison between
Deloitte SM vs ZS Associates M and AP? Had recruiters reach out and they’re trying to sell me that ZS Associates M is the same as Deloitte SM (if not further along/more prestigious given revenue targets).

Am up for SM at D right now. Am not sure if I’m buying it and don’t really want to start the whole process over again…

Thanks in advance!

I had an offer from PWC and Deloitte. The M at Deloitte is the C at ZS - delivery lead without a sales target. The SM and M is similar. The targets are the same for both Deloitte SM and ZS M (ex: about 3m year 1 between sold and managed revenue). ZS AP is essentially a non equity partner for future election to equity partner at a later time.

Yeah ZS notoriously downlevels people. PHDs own years experiences enter as Associate Consultant

As someone who has worked at both firms, this is 100% accurate. SM at Deloitte = M at ZS. I wish we could align our talent model to the rest of the industry, but it is what it is.

How does comp differ between both?

ZS doesn’t have as many steps to AP as junior P in Del/Mon from my understanding
