Is Kpmg to ZS but a level down + comp increase a good move? Not totally in love with pharma but strat work at Kpmg is becoming non-existent. Main questions

1. Will exit ops change at all with the addition of zs
2. Anyone make the move? What was your first year like
3. Should I be trying to exit now rather than more consulting (interested in tech / start up)

It’s going to depend on the office, role and level you’re moving into & what type of position in tech / startups you’re looking for honestly.

ZS is very strong in marketing & sales and analytics more broadly, and the experience in the latter two could make for an extremely compelling profile in both tech and startups (it’s very common to see BizOps and sales strategy exists in tech as well as occasional DS and product analytics roles).

If you don’t want to do life sciences, though, you should aim to work in either Chicago, Seattle or SF/San Mateo where a lot of that work is concentrated.

There are also a lot of opportunities to be a part of venture spaces dedicated to growing new verticals and offerings that would be right at the intersection of tech and a startup environment. These are largely concentrated around CPG/retail, digital connected health, and pharma R&D and in many cases would be literally developing new products.
