Received consultant offer from ZS and LEK. After knowing that I have a competitor offer, LEK matched ZS’s sign on and ZS later on increased the base salary to be higher than LEK without much negotiation. I’m happy with the both offer numbers tbh. Is it point to further negotiate at all?

No point in further negotiation as I really doubt either would go higher - now it’s a choice of what work you want to do

Mmm the LEK DD rep doesn’t really stand in LS at lek. We do mostly strategy. We also get a lot of laterals from ZS, if that tells you anything.

Other sectors at lek do a lot more dds.

We mostly see people moving from ZS to LEK than the other way around. LEK compensation is far higher than ZS.

Now, WLB can be better at ZS as you essentially make your schedule at the Manager level. If you want to spend your 50-60 hrs a certain way, no one will stop you at ZS.

funnylike

WLB prob better at ZS as well

Is there point*

What base + bonus did each offer? Also, what city is this for?

How much is ZS offering for C position?

Also keep in mind that M at LEK is far higher comp (380-400k).
