Received an offer to join ZS Associates as a Strategy Insights and Planning Associate. The recruiter has spots open for Boston or Evanston. Any fellow ZSers have any insights into each location and which is better for exit opps (i.e. MBA, MBB, industry)?

Hi folks, Could you please help me with the referral in JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley for below experience and tech stack.

YOE: 5.4 years

TIA !!

I’ve noticed on Glassdoor, salaries for my level (Director) are higher than my base but have similar bonus opportunity. At what level of pay gap would you push or make a stink? In hindsight I should have pushed more during the hiring process. At 160k base now, seeing ranges in the 170s to low 180s. These are specific to my current company.

Interviewing soon with EY for a senior role (TD FSO).

Assuming I get the job, would exit opportunities be worse if I am in FSO instead of the core group? Thanks!
