Hey everyone. I have an offer for the sales organization corporate team at Medtronic and a consulting offer at ZS. I’m coming straight out of school and am thinking that consulting work would look stronger on a resume. WLB at Medtronic is much better tho. What does everyone think?

ZS, no doubt. WLB is not that bad if you can handle spikes in hours every now and then. But the amount of learning and development + later CV is far better at ZS than at MDT, especially when you are fresh out of school.

Look at it this way, even if you can't handle ZS, you can always go back to MDT and are still going to be appreciated there. -> choose ZS

How to deal with this and ask for better package?
