I have a couple of questions for ZS fishes-
1. Is it possible to turn down a promotion at ZS? I'm currently happy with my responsibilities as a Decision Analytics Consultant and don't want any added responsibilities in the near future (next 5 years)
2. Is it possible to shape up a career path in the BC stream which doesn't involve business development? I don't want to get into working on SOWs and RFPs.
I have recently joined EY SaT group as senior consultant recently in Netherlands. I’m tripple masters in MS economics, MBA and MS business analytics. Have 4 YOE in different industries but no M&A experience specifically. Any ideas what company should be offering me? I’ll be working as expert on commercial due diligence, FDD and valuation teams and doing automation alongside. is it wise to demand higher salary or promotion soon after I have proven that I can work and do it better than most?EY
Hi there, I have 3.5 YOE working for NHS Finance. I applied to Deloitte Risk Advisory, Public Sector (London, UK) and was successful. Waiting to hear back with package offer but it’s been over 2 weeks - was told they may offer M2 grade, any ideas what this is?
I’m also interviewing for Senior consultant role also at Deloitte. How much would this typically pay?
Torn whether to stay within NHS as I will be getting an internal promotion or move to Deloitte.

Can Apple support turn off “Find My Iphone” for you? I need to turn it off for a phone trade it, but I don’t have access to the Apple ID for that phone. Submitted a request for access but it won’t take effect until 1/17, while I have to ship the phone out by 1/8.
Any other suggestions are also welcome.

Talking to your career counsellor (or firm equivalent) would be a good start. But ultimately: yes. Ask the question and at least you’ll get solid feedback. I’m going for Senior Manager and only when you say ‘so do you support my promo?’ do you cut through the polite BS and get actual answers.
Work on a project with visibility where you can directly build a good relationship with an MD. After you’ve worked together for a few months and you’ve delivered good work, be like “Hey I’m going up for promotion in x months and will be looking for feedback.” Then when you request feedback just ask them to check the box that says “promote”.
I think I have good visibility already so looks like the next step is to make promo ask explicit.
Pro
Yes, be brave and direct. Worst case, you know exactly where you stand with them.
