How much do you hate ZS? I might be tempted personally

like

The hate factor is not there yet but i am scared it might be there soon owing to the bad culture growing at ZS

No. I am industry hire from pharma. You’ll progress much slower - that 15% pay cut will take you 2-3 years to negate. Negotiate for parity pay

No promotion? 2-5% but obviously highly variable company to company. Promotion? Closer to 10-15% but remember promotion cycles are often much slower in industry (think every 2 years max)

What function? If it's your current client, how good do you feel about out competing your potential peers for a fast promo?
