Asking for a friend: Coming out of top-10 MBA, and debating between 2 offers post MBA - Deloitte S&A or ZS. Comp: same base, but ZS offers COLA bump and 2nd year tuition reimbursement. Big comp difference in the short term, but I'm not sure if I want to commit to the life sciences route.
Will working in ZS commit me and limit exit opportunities long term? will broader scope S&A offer better exits?
Would love to hear thoughts

I joined ZS out of bschool and I think it’s an awesome place to work. I think this depends on two things:
1. Are you already dead set on leaving after ~2 years?
2. If yes, are you interested in life sciences as an exit?

If no to #2 then you should join Deloitte. I think your answer to #1 may be a bit short sighted, as I think ZS can be relatively sustainable with some awesome comp.

I’m ~7 years out of business school and should clear $330k at least next year. If you do want to stay long term, I can’t guarantee it, but I’d venture our path to partnership is much clearer and less political than Deloitte (not saying it is transparent or apolitical…just way less based on what I’ve read on FB)
