I’ve received offers for manager positions at the London offices of ZS, CF, and Candesic - all with a focus on life sciences and medical technology. Since the terms of the offers are very similar, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the corporate culture, brand, types of projects, etc. - which company would you choose and why?

ZS

I’ve never heard of the other two besides ZS. I’ll assume they’re very small boutiques. Really depends on what you’re interested in and what you want to exit to.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
