Currently have an offer from ZS with 1.5 YOE and I would be coming in at an associate level. I am thinking of eventually leaving for an MBA. Would the leave be worth it? I am "up for promotion" in April but not very happy at my company. Salary wise, it is only 7% higher than my current base but zs seems to be growing and sounds like a really great place to work

ZS has pretty good placement at places like Kellogg, Booth, Columbia, and sometimes even Wharton depending on the rest of your application. If you plan on sticking around for 2.5-3 years you’ll have a promotion and solid work experience under your belt for MBA

Second ZS1. We don't place a ton of people at Harvard or Stanford, but a lot of ZSers go to other M7 / top 10 schools.

Great place to work! Hours have been long during Covid, but the people are great and the firm is growing quickly

Yeah depends on what company you’re at. ZS is a good name for B school so worth it for that. Can you push for a bit more money?

I can try. I think the biggest worry is just the title reset. If there was a promised accelerated promotion, I would definitely accept. Just a lot to think about.

If you don’t mind my asking where are you now?

Hi, I have been working in a neo-bank scale up for the past year. I’m getting paid relatively well with stock options that vest over 4 years. There are also talks internally about the company potentially IPO-ing in the next 1-2 years.

I just got an offer from a smaller startup who are giving me a 20% increase over what I’m currently getting, but they are unlikely to be publicly listed anytime soon.

Should I take the offer and potentially lose out on vesting £50k+ (pre-stocks) worth of options?
