Hello, ZS Associates fishes. Can you please help me get a good range of AC salary? I’m currently negotiating. What would be the top end salary for an AC? For context, I have 3 yoe. I’m currently asking for 145k and I believe NYC office has a COLA of 16.9k? ZSers, please help!

3 YOE puts you in the earlier part of AC. 4 YOE is top end. We do give very consistent raises, so if you're coming in at AC, we likely wouldn't go to top end of range.

I don't know the specific number for ACs.

Echoing what a lot of people are saying - 110-115K base is likely; 15-20K COLA

From what I’ve heard/seen, ZS has fairly standard entry salaries at the lower levels (A, AC, C) and doesn’t negotiate much (or at all). Maybe things have changed during COVID but I’d be surprised if they went much higher than the base

like

Yeah, I must agree with C2 here, especially as we don't know what OP's experience is

New AC is ~110k-115k without COLA.
NYC COLA is ~15-20k.

like

Generally 8-15%, excluding promos or market adjustments. Really high or really low performers may exceed that band above or below.

If you’re a SC why are you coming in as an AC?

Yep. As C1 mentioned. AC is just about right for me. C at ZS is M in most firms(specially Big4)

I’m in NYC office with 3 YOE all at ZS. I’m currently at $128k with COLA

@C1. What would be a high end number there then? Also, what salaries do C start with? That would tell me the highest end for AC

2.5ish YOE I came in as an AC in Philly.
$115k

Yea, last time I checked, Philly is (relatively) dirt cheap.

Is a MBA required for this role to get this high of a salary?

120k before cola (cost of living adjustment) means the salary you would have in any office. Certain offices in higher cost of living areas receive an additional cola as a salary bump.
