I am a student from Imperial with STEM and management background. I received an offer call from ZS London for SIP associate position. How is ZS in terms of brand recognition and what type of projects they do? Should I accept the offer? Thank you for advising on newbie. 🙌

Hard to give you advice without context. Do you have other offers here you’re trying to compare ZS against?

Thanks!

Not trying to give a harsh comment. Congrats on your STEM work! If you are asking here what they do, you are likely premature in deciding if you should accept a position. More research is helpful in deciding what you want to do and what opportunities within and beyond consulting might fit your interests and needs.

Consulting firms like ZS will value the analytical skills you have developed with a STEM background. The actual STEM content, not so much unless you have industry background that makes STEM knowledge more applicable to business decisions.

The balance of what a particular firm does, how they perform those activities, what is their culture, what are actual work expectations and how they fit with you will help determine your job satisfaction and ability to happily deliver high performance.

Good luck with your search!

Thanks for the genuine response. It’s quite challenging to know as an outsider about the company culture and my fit to the role. I feel lost mainly because it seems like opening a mystery box.

ZS in the US is known for Life Sciences, Pharma.

They are getting more into the payer/provider space.

It’s T2 from a prestige perspective. It has a better brand than Big4/ACN but lower than MBB. Not talking about offerings here. JMO.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales.

How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
