Got an Assoc. Principal offer from IQVIA launch strategy group, also interviewing with ZS Growth Marketing strategy group for M role. If I land an offer from ZS as well then any suggestions which one is better from work quality, future prospects and career progression standpoint; also any notable difference in culture, WLB and compensation?
Another question - how much room is there for salary negotiation and sign on bonus at both companies? (More interested in IQVIA as have an offer at hand rn)

No brainer ZS. Also a ZS to Iqvia jump is the easiest thing in the world (the pick up anyone who wants to voluntarily or forcefully leaves ZS) so you can do it any day. 😂

True take the AP role at IQViA Zs is growing so post 24 months see if AP role is open at Zs. ZS does hire AP directly then try to get into ZS as AP. You'll have the tile prestige comp and list go on.

funny

If you don't have the title you don't have it...think about it this if ZS M then you have to climb twice however of AP then one jump to P which one will you choose even if compensation is off by 20K a year...think through it

I turned down IQVIA AP-role and the Partner told me I’m welcome any time I change my mind. If ZS is a better fit for you, take it and rest assured the jump to IQVIA will always be there. Good luck!

How does the manager to AP transition works at ZS ? How long and overall difference in the comp structure

Also how are benefits structure in US, do they cover entire medical premium or still have employee part to put in

My AP offer was around 250k base and WLB isn't too bad

Yes, I've got more experience and education than the average AP though
