How client facing of a role is ZS Associates for SIP and Decision Analytics respectively? Is it comparable to your big 4 / LEK OW ATK type role in terms of client facing, direct strategy work or are there stark differences between ZS and the other firms in terms of quality of experience?

DA more quant and analytics.

SIP more strategy and planning work, same as standard strategy consulting roles in other companies.

We have less pure strategy work like LEK, probably on par with Kearney and more than Big 4. No clue about OW. Having said that there is nothing wrong with non-strategy work, it's where you get to really understand the nuances of business at times.

I would say our training is lacking a bit behind other firms, but otherwise people are nice, leadership is generally good and WLB is a bit better in non-Covid times than most other firms mentioned above (not considering Big4). We also got a few extra days off for free and 2 extra bonuses due to significant growth in business during COVID.

Both roles are directly client facing. As the person above highlighted, the non-strategy portion of the work is often where we learn the details of the business that help us deliver strategy work that better reflects client situations, needs, and capabilities.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

We own a rental property that has appreciated quite a bit and have the opportunity to do a 30-yr cash out refi at 75% LTV that would leave us with about $200,000 at the end of the deal. Rent currently wouldn’t cover the costs and we’d need to deploy the cash and earn about $750/mo to break even. We’d ideally like to use the money to invest in other property and syndicates. Seem like a good idea? Not sure if we are over leveraging ourselves and it’s worth the risk.
