Is there any point to apply for ZS if I’m not interested in healthcare?

ZS is healthcare . If you are not working in healthcare in ZS it’s career suicide, you’ll be promoted in double the time, get less chances for partner and be an outcast in general

As in a social outcast or just workplace outcast? Asking for OP

Jesus, ZS1 and ZS2, salty much?

About 85%ish of what we do is healthcare, predominantly pharma. We do some work in FS, travel and transportation, agriculture, high tech, etc. Chicago, Seattle, and Boston are the offices to target for that work with Chicago being the best.

There are likely better firms for non-healthcare if that's you're sole focus. That said, calling ZS career suicide is wildly hyperbolic.

Any suggestions on alternative healthcare consulting firms ?

Anecdotal but college friend’s parent started at ZS and now is CFO/COO level at Snapchat. I’d say it depends on if you’re just starting out and where you plan to take it

Thanks for sharing this! Interesting

You think anyone of us thought this was our dream job. You need to find a different reason to be here. If someone at ZS says they are doing because their work helps the public, they're lying

Depends on which office you’re applying to.. but very few opportunities in non-healthcare work

Doesn’t ZS do FS as well?

No you would hate it

For the record I love ZS but I work there because I never have to do non healthcare

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
