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.

Zs has a good bonus structure whereas at EY you gotta come in with a high base..culture of both organizations is good and based on which practice you land..EY DnA, based on what I have heard is dependent on teams but pretty much good..Pay rises is the same in both but growth opportunities is better at ZS since it is a small org..EY comes with its reputation that is not something that ZS can boast about…overall, at that level, I will choose EY and become a manager before I think about better exits

Please go to EY. ZS wlb is very variable and depends on the team, and projects are all pharma. AC level is the same as the EY SC.

ZS has mostly an account based model which is getting updated a bit, you rarely have to fly for work everything is driving distance. EY will give you an opportunity to travel more. ZS 401k match is not great. I was at the big 4 before and I find that the political side of consulting is everywhere. Go with the higher pay, at least your life will be rewarded better.

Hi all! I work at a nonprofit and am looking to leave the organization. As I browse available positions in my area, I’m realizing there is a LOT of crossover between my current org and others, for example shared board members, folks who are on our board and employed at one of the institutions I’m interested in, etc.. Is there a way to say “my current org doesn’t know I’m looking, so please treat my interest with discretion” that doesn’t raise red flags? Thanks!

If you decide to move down a level in your next role, for learning purposes and for more wlb, is that frowned upon by future employers and looks bad on your resume? I've been think about it but haven't pulled the trigger. Also fear that getting a lower level job will be tough if they see me as 'over-qualified'. For context, this would be going from a director role to a SM or Manager role.
