Received an offer from ZS and EY in the US. ZS at an AC level and EY at a Senior consultant level within D&A.
Suggestions on which one to join, pay (joining bonus plus base) is presently higher at EY by 20k as per the discussions. Want to understand the growth opportunities and pay rises.

You’ll have growth opportunities at both companies. It sounds like the EY opportunity might be the better offer.

Any particular reasons ?

What practice area at ZS? ZS promotions tend to be a bit slower than competitors but I think the culture is a bit better than others. Just depends on what you prioritize.

Decision analytics, I am worried about the slow promotions which I keep hearing about !

OP. Feel free to DM in case you want to discuss. I have been at both the firms and can guide you with your questions.

Dm’ed

I’d pick the one that pays higher although I think ZS > EY unless you are recruited by EYP. In that case, EYP is a no-brainer

This is for EY not EYP

EY. They’re offering more money, you’ll get broader exposure and exit opps. Time to Manager at EY will be ~2-3 years.

ZS is great. I’ve worked there. But comp increases are slow, promo to Manager will easily take you 4 years minimum from AC (2 years to C typically and a min of 2 years from C to M). Plus your work will be very much focused on pharma + HC. Almost exit opps available to you will be at big pharma companies or smaller/startup HC companies

Healthcare exits aren’t necessarily bad unless OP isn’t interested in it. Healthcare is resilient, hard to get into because of all of the terminology and regs to know, and like banking, needs serious tech revamping.

If OP has interest in HC, ZS would be the place to go. Otherwise, EY.
