I’m offered a DAAC role at ZS Associates with better pay than others.
The recruiter said it’s mainly about GenAI and Agentic AI.
I’m from a technical background and prefer technical roles.
ZS DAACs, could you help me decide:
1. Is there any technical aspect, and how much?
2. Does it lead to SDE or MLE roles? Or consultant tag makes it tougher?
3. What’s the work-life balance like, as I need to upskill for DSA and system design?

I’ve made it to the 3rd round interviewing at three different firms over the past month, and the feedback I’m getting has all been very similar: they think I’m really great, but it’s not the right time. Why spend 4-6 hours interviewing me just to say there isn’t actually a current role for me? Should I be reading between the lines (if so what does it mean?) or pressing harder for more detailed feedback?

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
