Friends of fishbowl. Need advice on two very different offers I have:
- ZS Consultant: 170k base, 20k signing. Will be joining Process Excellence and Transformation under the Business Operations Group
- Deloitte Manager: 155k. Will be joining Strategy & Analytics and will focus on Financial Services

Money aside, which is better for career growth, culture, experiences? Note that I already have 4 years of consulting experience at another big 4 so brand recognition is not important to me

ZS because (to me personally) they have a better brand perception than D. Plus, more comp and likely less bs to deal with than at D.

Deloitte as you would have better exit ops in finetech and tech space.. with ZS you either stay with the firm or would have to exit into Pharma which is filled with ZSers!!

ZS obviously

I would go for the money 💰! Money talks the rest walks.
