Would anyone working at ZS Associates be willing to discuss day-to-day work and type of projects, preferably at the consultant level? Trying to make the switch to strategy consulting and want to see if my background would fit what they are looking for. I would really appreciate any time anyone has, even if it’s just for an email or two.

Almost always. Unless you spent half of that year on the bench. It's the SA to C promotion that's variable. Anywhere from 2-4 years.
I did SA to C in 1 year. 2-4 sounds real long.
You might have had specific circumstances that made you fast track it. I'm in the same boat as 15-20 other SA's in my network who all got above for Sig above for 2 years in a row and none of us got promoted. A few left the firm from frustration. I'm sticking it out for another year then bouncing if I don't make C in the next cycle.
A3, yeah I did have the conversation with CC and MD of the project. They both put me up for promotion, but blamed DTE funding due to oil prices as the reason why I didn't get it.
You mean you got sig above as A and then again as SA this past year and didn't get the promotion to C? What's your alignment? I find it really hard to believe there is anyway you couldn't get it this year based on that
Sig?
Above my first year as an A and got promoted to SA. Then above in the next cycle as a SA but didn't get promoted. Then sig above in this last cycle and also didn't get promoted (so totalling 3 years at ACN so far). When I do get it next year, it'll be my 4th year at the firm. I'm in TC - Resources.
For the record, if you've been here 3, you were here when they added the SA position and promoted everyone en masse regardless of performance to SA after one year. If you were sig above and didn't get promoted to C, I think you need to have a serious conversation with your CC. Something's amiss either with promotion funding for your DTE or how the laddering meetings went down.
