Going from consultant to consultant (ZS). Will my exit opportunities (MBA, new job) be limited given the same title? ZS has more responsibilities at their consultant lvl than my current firm but wondering if this would hurt than benefit long term. More pay though. TIA

I’m pretty annoyed with the deflated titles.

like

Give yourself your own title on your resume. Titles are only internal. If you’re a project manager and can speak to your r&r- you’re all set.

That’s fine. Then they ask oh you said you were a project lead for 2 years but our background check says you were a senior consultant. And then you say yeah, those are our internal levels but I was a project lead on my engagements for those 2 years enter leadership experience/proof.

Yea, tbh people in industry understand what the different ZS roles map to. It helps a lot when applying to pharma roles. Outside of life sciences though, I would heavily lean into YoE instead of title.

like

ZS has deflated titles and the issue is ZS is very Life Sciences heavy so other industries and companies don't realize that a ZS Consultant is likely a tenured SC at Deloitte or maybe a Manager at PwC. (in pharma/life sciences, people will know ZS roles)

I have flight this battle and it is crazy. My comp at Deloitte SC was marginally higher than at ZS Consultant, but Deloitte PMD wanted to bring me in at Consultant, it was a battle to convince them otherwise.

How are you doing at Deloitte? Any regrets? What kind of work are you doing?

How do you get leverage as an internal transfer? A buddy of mine with similar experience and location received an external offer for nearly $100k TC more than my internal offer for the same role.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
