Hi 🐠! I was recently contacted by a ZS recruiter for a role, which I am interested in. I am now preparing for the process and wanted to ask what is the main differentiator between ZS vd IQVIA/LEK/Clearview/MBB/Kearney or other Life Sciences specific firms to answer the “Why ZS?” question. Thanks in advance!

I haven’t worked at the other firms so I can’t compare, but ZS prides itself on having the small firm feel with the resources of a large company. We also encourage people to have depth of expertise, not just jack of all trades like you may see elsewhere. Good luck!

Kearney does not do life science / does not have capabilities in that space.

Strong brand in life sciences. Smart people. Breadth of expertise and types of work. Private company (good pay, especially long-term). Generally, focus on long term, collaborative success.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
