How is ZS compared to Big 4. Talking about culture, pay, WLB, types of projects, etc. Any ZSers have some insight? Currently in Big 4 healthcare consulting and feel overworked and underpaid.

Also only worked at ZS (3 years) culture is great, pay is benchmarked to roughly T2 companies with raises of 8-15% every June and bonuses in same range every December, and I’d say the projects can be hit or miss in terms of what group you land in, etc

I have only ever worked at ZS but I like the culture

Ex-ZSer here, have worked at multiple consulting firms. The culture really is unparalleled, and there’s less variability in project work overall (ie, fewer incredible cases but also fewer truly awful ones). A big part of your ZS experience (just like at most other places) will depend on what team you end up on. If you’re purely optimizing for pay & WLB, though, would not expect meaningful differences from B4.

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs).

I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

Hello, I have a question that needs your inputs how to handle. I am working with a post-MBA Associate on a project and this person seems to do extra work beyond what the team is asking the rest of us to do. I think during our conversations with the leadership, there were a couple of points that were brought up by the MD but that was not a concrete directive that we need to do because if it is, I would know about it from the chain email since I am staffed to the project.
