Id say go with EXL as workload will be less as compared to ZS. Also, you can prepare for GMAT/CAT/GRE here and there's also a good chance of international exposure, if youre interested

Thanks for the response Ashish. Also if I want to stay in corporate, how's the market value of an EXL consultant?

ZS is a better choice than EXL imo. I am from ZS so could be biased.

I choose ZS over EXL (had both offers after college) and couldn't be happier with the decision
