I have an interview for SC @ZS. Which office should I choose? LA, CA or Princeton, NJ? They have both options open for me. Any insights would be helpful

Yea SC does not exist. What?

I don't know either office well, but I'd consider a few factors:

Clients we work with: if you look up pharma companies near LA and Princeton, you can probably get a sense for the companies each office works with :)

Office size: not sure, but I'd ask the recruiter

Functional work: maybe other ZSers will jump in, but if not, you could always look up the Principals and Associate Principals on LinkedIn to see what their specialties are

General location: 100% personal preference. I'd take LA over a Princeton, but being near NY and Philly would be pretty nice

There are a lot of other questions to think through (including culture), so if you have a chance, I'd try to connect with people from both offices before making your choice.

Best of luck!

Thank you. This is insightful

What is SC? We have consultants and managers but not senior consultants.

What kind of work do you want to do?

Do you have kids? Where do you live now? Are you fine with commuting to clients?

You can’t work out of either city without a car (have you googled the ZS office addresses????)

With no kids I don’t see why you would want to work out of Princeton

I still don’t really know what you do besides “tech” so no opinions there on what each office brings in terms of teams and spaces

Need to get in touch with someone from investment banking to push the resume. The rolling process is hurting the chances.Thank you Goldman Sachs
