If you're looking for entry level consulting, I would apply to an associate role. An analyst at ZS would either be for an operations or staff aug role.

like

Analyst is very broad - are you more oriented towards Data warehousing and Database, consulting analytics, big data analytics or commercial analytics.

Based on that ZS has roles like:
- business tech analyst
- business consulting analyst
- decision science analyst
- business operations analyst

I am interested in applying into the Strategy Insights and Planning Associate role. I have a year of work experience and went to a target undergrad. I am curious as to whether it’s doable to lateral into the role or whether the firm greatly prefers applicants who are still in undergrad.

I have seen people join as experienced associates. I don't think there would be any problem.

I would just be ready to explain why you're leaving after just a year and why you're looking at ZS.

Feel free to DM if you have any more questions.

You can DM me as well - I started as an associate last year on the decision analytics track, so might be able to provide some insight iff you have any specific questions.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
