Hi ZS folks, I have an offer for a Business Technology Solutions Associate role at ZS. I wanted to know if there's room for negotiation, considering I have another offer and also considering the cost of living and student loans. Can anyone share some insights about BTSA comp and negotiation. The principal did mention that I did well in the interview when they called me. My profile: BS in CS, MS in Business Analytics, Location: Princeton. Comp: Base: 85k, Sign on: 7k Relocation: 4k. Please help.

Likely no, we don't really negotiate with our offers. We do have cost of living adjustments in certain markets (e.g. NY, SF), but princeton isn't one of them.

And the fact that you have student loans has 0 impact on what your comp will be. Bringing that up would hurt you more than anything.

In my mind itd hurt since it shows poor judgement. Your compensation is not tied to the amount of debt you have and trying to make that case will make me concerned if you think that's reasonable.

One thing that I didn't realize when I started was how consistently my salary would increase. 10-15 percent per year compounds quickly.

I would negotiate. You have an MS.

I applied for a Director Learning and Development (L&D) role at McKinsey about a month ago via a referral. About a week ago, my McKinsey employee (who referred me) received an automated email saying that I had moved to the pre-screening process of the recruitment process and that I'll hear from the recruiter shortly.

It's more than a week now and I haven't heard back. Can anyone shed light on the process -- what to expect, timelines, what is the interview process like, etc.

Thanks!
