I have a couple of questions for ZS fishes-
1. Is it possible to turn down a promotion at ZS? I'm currently happy with my responsibilities as a Decision Analytics Consultant and don't want any added responsibilities in the near future (next 5 years)
2. Is it possible to shape up a career path in the BC stream which doesn't involve business development? I don't want to get into working on SOWs and RFPs.

Take this with a grain of salt, but this is what I’ve heard:
Guaranteed minimum ~300K
New partner ~400K
Experienced partner: highly variable, but can reach ~1M after ~5 years
that's more like base. all in will be more even for a new partner.
Does anyone know? Yes.
The short real answer:
Partnership at ZS is more lucrative than b4 more quickly. Probably similar to t2 strat shops. Not quite as good as MBB.
My understanding is that year 1 would be around $450K, quickly growing from there ($1M+ by year 5-6).
That said, path to get there is a long one -- we tend to promote on the slower side
