ZS Associates
I have a couple of questions for ZS fishes-
1. Is it possible to turn down a promotion at ZS? I'm currently happy with my responsibilities as a Decision Analytics Consultant and don't want any added responsibilities in the near future (next 5 years)
2. Is it possible to shape up a career path in the BC stream which doesn't involve business development? I don't want to get into working on SOWs and RFPs.

So A7 you're saying 25% aren't local? All I did was ask my MD if I could work abroad and then they sent me. Twice. Sometimes if you want something you have to ask for it. And it helps to not be a dick - maybe work on that and you might get more of what you want.
