Has anyone here at ZS Associates had a project/currently in the transaction advisory group? Would love to hear more about it in terms of types of projects, culture, wlb….also curious to hear how it would stack up against L.E.K. Consulting given their reputation in the M&A LS space

I recently wrapped up a DD in there. I can’t speak directly to how it compares, but some of my team members came from LEK.

Projects would primarily fall in the DD realm including opportunity assessments and asset scans as well. WLB may be slightly better than LEK but not significantly as they are still building out some of the support infrastructure for the area. Culture is quite good across ZS in general. I’ve found it to be a very welcoming, collaborative, and flexible place.

@ZS2 any way you can help me get on a project like that? I would love for that type of exposure to such a big deal. Recently got rolled off a project so I’m 100% free

I haven’t worked on any of those projects but some of the leaders I know in that space are great to work with.

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
