Hey ZS Associates fish, I’m trying to figure out if I need a car when I start work there soon. I’ve heard most clients are located close to the office which makes me think there will be a decent amount of driving everyday. Thanks!

Very much also depends which team you are on. are you expected to be sitting at a client, or mostly working from office with occasional client visits?

Will be pretty dependent on office

You will need a car most probably

Clients should pay for Ubers?

ZS6 only if you drive to the office. I take the train to the office and drive to clients, so I get fully reimbursed.

Philly is little tricky to take a call on if you need a car. Based on what client you get assigned you’ll get reimbursed for travel (Uber, rental car or even gas). Some clients however don’t pay for travel and there having your car will be handy.
If you plan to live in the downtown area consider added expense of a parking garage ~$300 monthly.
A lot of ZSers in Philly get along fine without a car, but I would recommend getting a car if you are comfortable with the added expense of a parking garage as a car will give you a lot of flexibility to move around.

Which office? !

OP said Philly in their response up top
