Recruiter approaches from Roland Berger and ZS Associates. I'm in healthcare. I know ZS are big in healthcare, whereas at RB I would be part of a (re-)building practice. FB - which should I go for?

To me the risk with consulting and being a part of a rebuilding practice is your utilization will be terrible. You'll work your ass off but some other group might get one huge project and make people not on it look terrible. Additionally, if you do well it probably won't take much to get promoted and then you will be at a high level without the experience a SM at a larger firm has. So when you leave, you will get steamed rolled by others at your same level. Possibly. But those are some of the risks I see.

Come to ZS! Tons of opportunities and we do a lot of strategy work. We're expanding in to a lot of other areas that you might not traditionally associate with ZS too.

Cont'd - culture is great and there truly is no competitiveness in the environment. The people are (generally) super personable and genuinely smart and caring coworkers.

I've heard from folks who have worked at other firms that ZS has a better culture than most. I've stayed in consulting much longer than I expected mainly because I love the people I work with. There are a few bad apples here and there as with most places, but I generally admire the people I work with

What about culture at the two firms?

@D1, I probably will. Just wondered if the fishbowl has anything to say about them.

I've heard RB does more strategy than Zs

EY1 makes very real/valid points. on the flip side, if you help build something and stay... good on you. get in on the ground(ish) floor and you got your path set there

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
